Abstract
Career paths and attitudes of school administrators have been fairly well documented over the last quarter of a century (Carlson, 1972; Hemphill, Griffiths & Frederikson, 1962; Barter, 1959). These studies have focused on men, since they dominate the field of school administration. The most recent nationwide data available (1972-73), from NEA's 26th Biennial Survey, show that men represented 80.4% of the elementary principals, 97.1% of the junior high school principals, 98.6% of all high school principals, and 99.9% of superintendents in the United States. The number of men in school administration has increased constantly from 1955 when men represented only 45% of the elementary school principals (Appendix I - Parris and Banks, 1979). The statistics for Iowa over a five year period from 1975-80 (Appendix II - DPI, 1980), show that the percentage of women administrators in Iowa is even less than the rest of the nation.
