Smith, Shanta M.
Penn GSE Perspectives on Urban Education, v20 n1 Fall 2022
Research shows that Black Women principals are often assigned to lead and turn around the most challenging schools with limited resources. This article provides a brief review of the historical trauma and incessant work-related stressors that Black Women principals encounter. The strategy of Revolutionary Rest is proposed as a collaborative and communal based strategy to address the inequities that Black Women principals face when leading schools in the United States.
