Gaining Access to the Superintendency: Headhunting, Gender, and Color.
Tallerico, Marilyn
Educational Administration Quarterly, v36 n1 p18-43 Feb 2000
Examines superintendent search and selection practices in New York State districts, using gatekeeping and career mobility theories. Findings illustrate how certain elements of school-board and headhunting practices, school-administration norms, and dominant ideological/sociocultural values facilitate nonminority males' access and limit others' access.
