Defining Success: Women in School Leadership
Gandara, Minerva; Hendricks, Kim; Alonzo, Teresa Lopez
Leadership, v41 n4 p8-10 Mar-Apr 2012
Principals are the front-line administrators being asked to do more with less--strengthening teaching and learning, maintaining morale and building a culture of trust, and creating high expectations while managing scarce resources. Given the challenging roles that these school leaders play, giving voice to principals' needs as well as their successes is important to the Association of California School Administrators (ACSA). Last October, ACSA and the American Association of School Administrators held the first-ever Women in School Leadership Forum in San Diego. One highlight of the forum was a panel discussion conducted by three ACSA principals: (1) Minerva Gandara; (2) Kim Hendricks; and (3) Teresa Lopez Alonzo. In this article, they share in a Q&A format the insights and perceptions they offered at the forum.
