- Summary:
-
The purpose of this paper is to frame a preliminary report of a study of gender differences within the mentoring relationship associated with educational leadership. The study also examines the question of whether there is a difference in mentoring women, men, and minorities into positions of educational leadership. The research is based on interviews with 5 male mentors (professors of educational administration, superintendents, and principals) and 15 male and female proteges (superintendents, principals, professors, and other educational administrators). Findings indicate that men continue to be needed as mentors to women because women are not taking on the responsibility for mentoring other women. An analysis of the mentor-protege relationship suggests that mentoring women is a critical tasks that differs from mentoring men with similar career potential and aspirations. Findings also indicate that differences lie along gender lines rather than racial or ethnic background. (IAH)
