Review Of Reconsidering Feminist Research In Educational Leadership. Michelle D. Young, & Linda Skrla (Editors)., Mark A. Giesler

Journal of Women in Educational Leadership

Reconsidering Feminist Research in Educational Leadership is rich feminist food for thought for both the novice and experienced researcher. Dubbed as "a critical reflection on the field of feminist research in educational leadership as a whole" (p. 3), the work is a three-part collection of articles edited by Michelle D. Young and Linda Skrla. In Part 1, four authors expose methodological dilemmas that "contradict and unsettle the foundational beliefs of many feminist researchers" (p. 4). Part 2 explores alternative, expanded methodologies based on the criticisms of Part 1. Part 3 is an application of the "reconsidered methods and epistemolgies" (p. …

First Women, Marilyn L. Grady, Barbara Y. Lacost

Journal of Women in Educational Leadership

Perhaps those who write about women leaders should frame their works by referring to First Women. Certainly much of the writing about women and their leadership is groundbreaking. We are at the beginning stages of writing about women in leadership and women who are "firsts" in many of their accomplishments. The manuscripts in this issue of the Journal of Women in Educational Leadership reflect the accomplishments of First Women.

Women In History--Mary Seacole, Bonnie Mckay Harmer

Journal of Women in Educational Leadership

Born in Jamaica in 1805, Mary Seacole (nee Grant), was the daughter of a Black Creole boarding house owner and a Scottish Army officer. Like many Creole doctress women, Mary waS taught African herbal medicine arts from her mother. In addition to understanding traditional herbal medicine, she gleaned an understanding of Western medicine from the British military physicians who were stationed on the island colony.

Voices Of Women In The Field--The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly, Barbara A. Marchese

Journal of Women in Educational Leadership

Editor's note: One of the frequently mentioned challenges noted by principals is finding adequate time to complete all the tasks that present themselves. Writing for journals is not on the priority list of most principals. Although Dr. Marchese agreed to "write" an article, in fact the real world of the principalship took precedence over the writing task. This article, then, is the result of a telephone conversation, lunch and a writing "collaboration"-my fingers, her words. (Grady)

Teachers’ Perceptions Of Their Professionalism In Government Primary Schools In Karachi, Pakistan, Meher Rizvi, Bob Elliot

Institute for Educational Development, Karachi

This paper examines teachers’ perceptions of their professionalism under conditions of educational reforms in government primary schools in Karachi, Pakistan. Conceiving teacher professionalism in terms of four dimensions (teacher efficacy, teacher practice, teacher leadership and teacher collaboration) it reports a quantitative survey research study of teachers in these schools, where educational reforms have been initiated. One conclusion from the study is that such teachers do perceive themselves as professionals—a finding that is counter to the often-held beliefs about these teachers. The paper argues that it is important to regard teachers as professionals, capable of further enhancing their own professionalism, for …
