Book excerpt: This qualitative study was developed under the lens of phenomenology and designed to contribute to the limited research about female African-American leaders. The researcher investigated the perceived barriers experienced by female African-American principals and assistant principals working in suburban districts as well as the factors, which allowed them to overcome these obstacles and remain in their positions. Seven women currently working in suburban school districts within and around the Delaware Valley section of Pennsylvania voluntarily agreed to complete all components of the research which included an online survey, open-ended questions, and participation in an interview. The results of this study indicated various barriers encountered by the participants in their current and former positions as well as in their adolescent years as students. Despite facing obstacles, these leaders were able to intentionally and unintentionally employ strategies to overcome obstacles and maintain their roles in a predominantly white school setting. The overall findings of this study will contribute significantly to research about female African-American leaders in public schools, assist with understanding the importance of creating a diverse staff in suburban school districts, and serve as a professional resource for future women of color seeking school leadership positions.

Book excerpt: Author's abstract: Over the past decade, research has been devoted to bridging the gap in academics and opportunity among African-American males. Missing from the dialogue however, are the voices of African-American female leaders. This voice will not only play an instrumental part in mediating cultural misunderstandings that occur in the classroom, but it will also facilitate a much needed conversation in understanding gender and race by displaying different views on educational leadership. Thus, the purpose of this study is to explore the perceptions of the opportunity gap among African-American female principals in Title I schools to raise the presence of their voice in this educational discussion. As the opportunity gap is an issue that has a global impact, this research can be transferred to various contexts in the educational setting. The findings that emerged from this study can assist both rural and Title I school districts in reevaluating existing educational programs or aid in designing new initiatives to improve outcomes for low performing African-American males. Moreover, this data can support school districts in developing the cultural competence of teachers and staff through professional development and culturally sensitive pedagogy. This study included an elementary, middle, and high school principal. Using a phenomenological approach, the participants were encouraged to discuss factors influencing their leadership practices, internal and external barriers and actions taken to overcome those barriers, and measures to enhance staff effectiveness through professional development. After two interview cycles, the researcher analyzed participants’ responses through the lens of Critical Race Theory and existing literature resulting in four emergent themes. One theme was related to perceived barriers. The next theme was tied to a particular leadership style. The final two themes were linked to the participant’s race and gender. Though presented in earlier literature as symbols of oppression and inequality, for the participants in this study, race and gender served as vehicles to address the opportunity gap in meaningful ways for African-American males in their Title I schools.

Book excerpt: The primary purpose of this study was to describe and explore, through interviews, how African American female principals sustain and maintain authority. This study investigated what it takes to become the authority, and how to reinforce authority. This study investigated what it takes to become the authority, and how to reinforce authority and ensure that authority is understood, in administrative level school leadership positions where documented gender, age, and racial experiences have been limited. In this qualitative study, 12 African American female principals participated in this study. The principals were African American females under 50 years of age, and currently employed as a principal of a K-12 public school district in a Midwestern State. The research question was: What approaches do African American females utilize to overcome barriers and sustain academic and administrative authority? This study followed a qualitative design. A phenomenological approach was used to explore the experiences of African American females. Overall this study revealed insights on how to overcome odds to obtain and maintain the principalship position. One in-depth interview occurred and findings are presented in narrative form. The principal's story revealed that gender, age, and race have been difficult in the roles of the research participants. Each woman's story suggested barriers within leadership positions demonstrate that women do not get the same opportunity as men. The respondent's story revealed there is a need for principals to distribute authority, have trust in their staff, and facilitate conflicts that arise when decisions are shared. By producing Black feminist discourses such as these, the findings of the respondents unmasked the power of racist, sexist, or ageist practices operating within public school systems. This study identified perceived barriers that have inhibited Black females' ascension to K-12 public school principal positions and identified strategies that aided these women in overcoming the obstacles they encountered when securing the position. Ultimately, this study aded to the limited knowledge based in educational administration for African American female principals since the end of the Civil Rights Movement.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this phenomenological study was to explore and gain an in-depth understanding of the personal, professional, and sociocultural experiences of African American female school leaders in suburban school districts. These school districts were identified as suburban locations because of low to no student poverty, stellar performances on standardized tests, high graduation and college going rates, and champion academic and athletic team honors. This qualitative study employed a phenomenological design to allow the researcher the opportunity to investigate and gather data through open-ended, face-to-face, one hour interviews with study participants. Three theoretical frameworks---critical race theory, racial identity development theory, and black feminist thought theory---were utilized for this qualitative study. Ten African American female school leaders serving as assistant principals, principals, and central office administrators from four suburban school districts in the southeast region of the United States were involved in this study. Each district was located only miles from a major metropolis. After data analysis, seven themes emerged from the thick, rich descriptions provided through study participants' interviews. The seven themes were (a) race and gender in school leadership, (b) caring for family and self, (c) resilience and spirituality, (d) education and upward mobility, (e) mentoring and networking, (f) effective communication and positive working relationships, and (g) child advocacy and community partnerships. Study participants had a multiplicity of positive and challenging experiences as African American female school leaders. They were resilient and spiritually-grounded which aided them in answering the call to leadership. The study of the lived personal, professional, and sociocultural experiences of African American female suburban school leaders may be helpful to educational researchers and practitioners, colleges and universities, boards of education, school districts, schools, and all African American females who aspire to become school leaders in suburban school districts. By exploring the lives of these school leaders, greater insights may be gained to open the door to this underrepresented population. This research may be valuable for professional development planning and educational leadership programs with the objective of recruiting and retaining more African American female suburban school leaders.

Book excerpt: This groundbreaking study fills a significant gap in educational research literature as it explores the problem of persistent and pervasive underachievement by African-American students in the public schools of the United States. Teacher quality, school resources, socio-economic status of students, cultural relevance of curriculum, and school leadership are a few of the factors that contribute to achievement or the lack of it by these students. Lomotey focuses on the impact of the African-American principal's leadership, its effect on the academic achievement of African-American students, and the day-to-day activities associated with school leadership. An early chapter reviews relevant research focusing on the connection between principal leadership and academic achievement in general. The extracted recurring qualities then form the basis for exploring whether African-American principals in more successful African-American schools possess the specific qualities suggested by the research. Lomotey finds that three additional and important characteristics are shared by his sample of principals: a deep commitment to the education of African-American children; a strong compassion for and understanding of both their students and the local community; and a sincere confidence in the ability of all African-American children to learn. The text is enhanced by two dozen tables that present the information discussed. An early chapter details the study's methodology with an overview and discussion of sampling and measurement procedures. Useful to students of educational administration, African American Principals: School Leadership and Success will also be of value in courses focusing on urban studies, school effectiveness, and school leadership. Black Studies programs addressing African-American education in America will find this a most necessary text. African-American educators--scholars and practitioners--as well as parents, community leaders, and other lay people will profit from the up-to-the-minute insights presented here.

Book excerpt: Using data from thirty-five semi-structured interviews along with self-administered questionnaires, this dissertation explores Black women principals' and assistant principals' perspectives on what it means to be a Black woman in education. This study analyzes how their experiences shape their approach to work. Of particular interest is how Black women school principals and assistant principals assert their leadership and authority in the school. The women in the sample include thirteen principals and twenty-two assistant principals across nine public school districts in a mid-Atlantic region. These Black women principals and assistant principals work in suburban, urban and rural schools with majority Black, majority White and racially mixed student populations. One of the key themes of this dissertation is how Black women principals and assistant principals engage in a presentation of self as a strategy to negotiate race and gender discrimination at work.
