Beyond Representation: African American Administrators' Experiences as Reflections of Workforce Diversity Perspectives
Leadership and Policy in Schools, v20 n2 p312-331 2021
The recollections of sixteen African American administrators who were some of the first hired in de/segregated school districts in the North are analyzed in order to understand their work lives and experiences in district processes. Findings are analyzed through the lens of workforce diversity perspectives. Five themes emerged from the data regarding race, African American administrators' roles and experiences. Findings indicate that elements of all three diversity perspectives were present, but the most inclusive, integration-and-learning was least present. Recommendations for further research in contemporary contexts are provided.
