From coast to coast, men are replacing women in education leadership at alarming rates.
when it comes to serving in leadership positions in a K-12 education system built deliberately by and for white men during a very different time in our country. Despite the education workforce being dominated by women, inequities persist at the top levels.
At first blush, there appears to be a silver lining at the state level: Right now, women make up the majority of those serving in state-level superintendent positions. And proportionally, there are actually far more female state superintendents than there are women leaders within the top 500 largest districts. But a closer look reveals that the women holding these jobs at the state level are. If we truly want to eliminate gender-based inequities, we need to immediately address the pay gap.
Longstanding systemic forces coupled with a widespread unawareness of the problem across the field are delivering these outcomes. All of it culminates in systemic discrimination in American education. If we want to shatter the glass ceilings in other sectors and make good on our promise to students that they can indeed grow up to be anything they set their minds to, we also need to recognize the systemic obstacles that exist in our own field. We, as a society, cannot simultaneously strive for full equality across the nation without addressing it in education.
