Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Men continue to outnumber women in public school superintendent roles by a 4:1 ratio. However, women outnumber men by a 4:1 ratio in teaching roles in public school districts. In addition, more women than men hold superintendent certificates and educational doctorates. Due to this puzzling discrepancy, it is important to understand possible factors in the form of gendered barriers to access that could lead to the unequal representation of women in superintendent positions. In this study, I examined how these barriers manifested in the experiences of female superintendents participating in the study, how they influenced the hiring experiences of these participants, and how they impacted these female leaders throughout their careers. With this study, I investigated barriers associated with holding mechanisms, gendered norms, and gendered filters that may limit women's access to superintendent roles. Women's experiences of the origins and effects of gender normative perceptions and hiring practices have potential for contributing to the study of gender equity in the field of education and beyond. Findings could provide implications for increasing women's opportunities to serve beyond central office positions in public school districts. Possibilities exist for identifying practices in organizations that have hired women to serve at the highest level of school district leadership; that of the superintendent of schools.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1985, the Handbook for Achieving Gender Equity Through Education quickly established itself as the essential reference work concerning gender equity in education. This new, expanded edition provides a 20-year retrospective of the field, one that has the great advantage of documenting U.S. national data on the gains and losses in the efforts to advance gender equality through policies such as Title IX, the landmark federal law prohibiting sex discrimination in education, equity programs and research. Key features include: Expertise – Like its predecessor, over 200 expert authors and reviewers provide accurate, consensus, research-based information on the nature of gender equity challenges and what is needed to meet them at all levels of education. Content Area Focus – The analysis of gender equity within specific curriculum areas has been expanded from 6 to 10 chapters including mathematics, science, and engineering. Global/Diversity Focus – Global gender equity is addressed in a separate chapter as well as in numerous other chapters. The expanded section on gender equity strategies for diverse populations contains seven chapters on African Americans, Latina/os, Asian and Pacific Island Americans, American Indians, gifted students, students with disabilities, and lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender students. Action Oriented – All chapters contain practical recommendations for making education activities and outcomes more gender equitable. A final chapter consolidates individual chapter recommendations for educators, policymakers, and researchers to achieve gender equity in and through education. New Material – Expanded from 25 to 31 chapters, this new edition includes: *more emphasis on male gender equity and on sexuality issues; *special within population gender equity challenges (race, ability and disability, etc); *coeducation and single sex education; *increased use of rigorous research strategies such as meta-analysis showing more sex similarities and fewer sex differences and of evaluations of implementation programs; *technology and gender equity is now treated in three chapters; *women’s and gender studies; *communication skills relating to English, bilingual, and foreign language learning; and *history and implementation of Title IX and other federal and state policies. Since there is so much misleading information about gender equity and education, this Handbook will be essential for anyone who wants accurate, research-based information on controversial gender equity issues—journalists, policy makers, teachers, Title IX coordinators, equity trainers, women’s and gender study faculty, students, and parents.

Book excerpt: Your take-action guide to gender equity First, just to be clear: Leading While Female is not a book about how to get a leadership job. Nor is it about fixing or transforming women into male managers or mindsets. Instead, Arriaga, Stanley, and Lindsey’s bigger ambition is to help both women and men educational leaders confront and close the gender equity gap—a gap that currently denies highly qualified women and women of color opportunities to better serve our millions of public school students. Designed as both a personal and group discussion guide for taking action, Leading While Female draws on the research of feminism, intersectionality, educational leadership, and Cultural Proficiency to help us all: Better understand the impact of faux narratives that foster lack of confidence among girls and women Utilize the Tools of Cultural Proficiency to examine barriers to overcome and support functions to locate for your own career planning Learn from the stories of women leaders who have confronted and overcome barriers to career development, including women of color who were targets of implicit bias Explore and expand the roles and opportunities for our male colleagues to serve as allies, advocates, and mentors. If we look at the data, we can safely say women are doing the work of classroom teaching while disproportionately, men are making administrative and leadership decisions. Here at last is a resource for the breaking down the barriers and leading the way for future generations of women leaders.

This book was released on 2002 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose of the study . The purpose of this quantitative research study was to determine if a dominator culture existed and affected negotiation and access power gender inequities between male and female superintendents in the public school system in the state of Missouri. In addition, this study investigated 435 public school districts and their distinctive characteristics when compared by superintendents' gender. The characteristics studied were: equity among men's and women's salaries and mileage reimbursement (negotiation power); number of sick, personal, and vacation days given (negotiation power); monetary allowance, health, life, and dental insurance, car usage, and professional dues compensation (negotiation power); district assessed valuation among men and women superintendents (access power); school enrollment (access power); and school accreditation (access power); and which negotiation and access power variables best discriminated between male and female superintendents. This information should contribute to the knowledge of what women superintendents must face and overcome in a male dominated profession. Conclusions . After inspection and reflection of the findings documented in this study, several conclusions were warranted. Male "insider" domination of the superintendency remains strong in public schools in the state of Missouri. Women have low negotiation power compared to men as demonstrated by significantly lower salaries. Access power for women when compared to men shows large differences in accessibility to larger, wealthier school districts. Male domination has been perpetuated because of men's past access to the superintendency positional power. For this male domination to be broken, female superintendents must gain access to larger, wealthier districts and increase the number of women employed in the superintendency. Recommendations . Future investigation could reveal why negotiation and access power variables are so significantly different between men and women superintendents. Future studies could be conducted to investigate if the variables differ because of gender discrimination, lack of women in the superintendency, due to the difficulty of being hired in districts as a female, lack of women in the superintendency due to other reasons unknown, or other factors that create this discrimination. Finally, a comparison of variables in five to ten years would assist in analyzing the lack of women superintendents as compared to men to reveal if the discrimination has subsided or is still prevalent.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this qualitative case study was to revisit Bandura’s agency, self-efficacy theory, and Kram’s mentor theory to address the disproportionality between the number of men and women superintendents in Texas. Despite extensive female representation in classrooms, campus leadership, and central office positions, the number of women superintendents remained relatively unchanged for nearly a decade. Access to mentors, leadership pipelines, career pathways, and other factors was examined to identify current and prior barriers to promotion. Semistructured interviews gathered reflections and experiences from the lens of seven current women superintendents and six mentors of women superintendents. Survey responses from women superintendents were also collected. Thematic coding of interviews facilitated the analysis of the data. Findings included the potential benefits of increasing agentic behaviors and self-efficacy through supportive mentoring relationships before and after women entered the superintendency.
