A Mentoring Programme for Women Educators

Abstract

This paper contributes to the growing literature on mentoring for leaders in schools. Because of women's underrepresentation in educational administration and their lack of access to traditional mentoring relationships, a particular type of formal mentoring programme is advocated for women educators who are actively seeking leadership positions within schools. Some key issues are raised in relation to the conceptualisation of a professional mentorship programme and recommendations are offered. © 1994, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. All rights reserved.
