Research on Women in Education

Genevieve Brown and Beverly Irby, faculty members in SHSU's Educational Leadership and Counseling Department, and doctoral student Claudia Iselt, a principal in the Spring Branch school district, made a presentation which focused on leadership preparation for female superintendents.
