The respondents possess different educational backgrounds, reflect different ethnic, racial and age groups, and inhabit varied roles and organizations, from public school districts, charter school networks, graduate schools of education, and partner/support organizations. Jana L. Carlisle responds to the underrepresentation of women in education leadership positions and the complicated and veiled routes women must take to ascend to leadership, and proposes the most applicable models, standards, strategies, and supports vital to women educational leaders.
