Sacred Dreams

<p><b>Offers practical advice and research results on women school superintendents a field traditionally dominated by men.</b></p><p>Although women have dominated the teaching ranks at all levels of education since the turn of the century men occupy 93 percent of superintendency jobs. Considering the nationwide concern that superintendency positions will be vacated faster than they can be filled during the next decade it's quite possible that women are the greatest untapped pool of capable candidates. As women think about seek and accept superintendency assignments they need a resource like Sacred Dreams that offers both practical advice from those who have attained this rank and research results from those who have studied the situation. Such an understanding has the potential not only to increase the number of women in the position but also to increase their likelihood of success.</p><p>[Contributors include Judy A.
