Title: | Fast Track, Bush Track: Late Career Female Rural School Leaders Taking the Slow Road | Contributor(s): | Miller, Judith A (author) ; Graham, Lorraine (author); Al-Awiwe, Azhar A (author) | Publication Date: | 2014 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/14900 | Abstract: | Previous research related to this study explored early career female leaders' experiences in rural school settings, and probed the personal and professional challenges they faced and their motivations to accept formal and informal leadership roles ahead of the usual timeframes (e.g., Graham, Miller & Paterson, 2009). This study set out to explore these findings further by interviewing four late career female leaders. These women reported less accelerated progression to leadership roles compared to their early career counterparts. They also revealed differences in style of leadership and experiences of gender differences with regard to leadership opportunities. These findings usefully inform policy makers and pre-service teacher education programs by highlighting the value of a career-span view of rural school leadership for women. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Australian and International Journal of Rural Education, 24(1), p. 91-102 | Publisher: | Society for the Provision of Education in Rural Australia (SPERA) | Place of Publication: | Australia | ISSN: | 1839-7387 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 130299 Curriculum and Pedagogy not elsewhere classified 139999 Education not elsewhere classified 130399 Specialist Studies in Education not elsewhere classified |
