Women as Educational Leaders: Opening Windows, Pushing Ceilings

Ann S. Keim

Women as Educational Leaders: Opening Windows, Pushing Ceilings is based on a series of interviews of women leaders identified as outstanding by other educators. As a practitioners guide, they help us understand the past, explore traditional roadblocks to the advancement of women, and envision the near future.

But it is a section entitled "Strategies for Professional and Self-Development" that makes the book worth purchasing. It includes five chapters of interviewee and research-based advice on securing and excelling in educational leadership positions.

Perhaps most useful is the self-assessment instrument and subsequent plan for developing one's leadership competencies. Advice on goal-setting, cultivating mentoring relationships, and developing networks is practical.
