Abstract

From one marginalized leader to others seeking to serve in educational leadership roles, the writer shares her trajectory from classroom teacher to school superintendent. She shares lessons learned along her journey to get the job, do the job, and remain in the position with the purpose of impacting the lives of children served. She discusses the important contribution of marginalized leaders, why they are needed, and what they bring to the table. In this chapter, she discusses how she tackled the challenge of securing her first leadership role. She shares practical advice from real-life experiences that helped her succeed as a school superintendent for over 20 years. Finally, she discusses key researched practices that helped her do the job effectively to improve student outcomes. In this chapter she hopes to equip other marginalized leaders with the skills and mindset needed to not only succeed but also make a positive difference in the world of education.
