Abstract

Purpose: With the rise of the Latinx student population in the United States and the urgency to meet the needs of this diverse community, there has been an increased concern and interest in preparing more Latinx educators and school leaders. This study contributes to this knowledge base by centering the voices and experiences of four Latina school leaders in the United States. All of the school leaders were current or former school principals and/or assistant principals at the time of the study, with three being from Texas and one from California. Research Approach: Drawing on the methodological tenets of testimonio, this study asked: What are Latina school leaders’ professional experiences like, both positive and negative, given the intersectionality of their social identities? Utilizing intersectionality as a theoretical framework provided the means to analyze and understand Latina school leaders’ multiple social identities and the role that such identities played in their professional roles and career trajectories as school leaders within the larger context of educational politics and systemic inequities. Findings: Testimonios of participants centered on four themes related to how they confronted gender roles and expectations of motherhood, the criticality of mentorship, how they confronted and addressed racism and sexism, and harnessed bilingualism to empower self and others. Implications: Findings help inform those seeking to meet the needs of our growing Latinx student population, including school district administrators, current and upcoming school leaders, and those working to prepare a more diverse school leadership pipeline.

拉丁裔学校领导的经验与发展
目的:随着美国拉丁裔学生人数的增加,以及满足这个多元化社区需求的紧迫性,人们越来越关注和感兴趣培养更多的拉丁裔教育工作者和学校领导。本研究以美国四位拉丁裔学校领导的声音和经历为中心,为这一知识库做出了贡献。研究时,所有学校领导都是现任或前任校长和/或助理校长,其中三名来自德克萨斯州,一名来自加利福尼亚州。研究方法:根据testimonio的方法论原则,本研究问道:考虑到拉丁裔学校领导的社会身份的交叉性,他们的职业经历是什么样的,包括积极的和消极的?利用交叉性作为理论框架,可以分析和理解拉丁裔学校领导的多重社会身份,以及在教育政治和系统性不平等的大背景下,这些身份在他们作为学校领导的职业角色和职业轨迹中所起的作用。研究结果:参与者的证词集中在四个主题上,这些主题涉及他们如何面对性别角色和对母亲的期望,导师制的关键性,他们如何面对和解决种族主义和性别歧视,以及利用双语赋予自己和他人权力。影响:研究结果有助于为那些寻求满足日益增长的拉丁裔学生群体需求的人提供信息,包括学区行政人员、现任和即将上任的学校领导,以及那些致力于准备更多元化的学校领导渠道的人。
