The Career Development Of Latina Women Achieving The Position Of Public High School Principal, Consuelo A. Palacio
The Career Development Of Latina Women Achieving The Position Of Public High School Principal, Consuelo A. Palacio
Theses and Dissertations
For this qualitative study, I used the lens of the Social Cognitive Career Theory to investigate the lived experiences of Latina women navigating their career paths into the roles of public high school principals. Latina women are underrepresented and in some states they are not represented at all.

Professional Conversations About Race, Culture And Language In Early Childhood Literacy Education: An Administrator's Journey, Sabina Maria Mosso-Taylor
Theses and Dissertations
