- Title
Comparing Two Female Superintendents' First Years: Challenges and Successes.
- Authors
Isernhagen, Jody; Bulkin, Nadia
- Abstract
This article investigates the journeys of two first-year female superintendents. A qualitative descriptive analysis of the superintendents' journals reveals not only how their experiences differed, but what factors contributed to a more positive or negative first year as a superintendent: (a) the superintendents' relationship with their school board; (b) their ability to network within the school community; and (c) the school district's willingness to change. This article provides insights into how different professional environments can help or challenge a new superintendent, as well as recommendations for maneuvering through these environments.
