About the Book

This second edition provides expert guidance based on research and experience for women in and moving into educational administration. Moving Up! ranges in scope from determining whether you are interested in exploring a career in educational administration through all of the decisions administrators face-from where to sit in a meeting, to signing a contract, to dealing with difficult people, to decisions on the homefront. It provides facts and choices for the reader, including real-life examples. Although the book addresses women, it is equally helpful to men who want to learn the ropes and know how women think and lead. A major point is that while women's leadership and collaborative styles are most appropriate to today's needs and that women possess the most effective characteristics for developing a cooperative, participatory management style, the best results come from merging the leadership strengths of both men and women. Well-written and readable, this book speaks to the reader in layman's terms while maintaining an academic purpose.

About the Author :
Judith Thompson Witmer holds an academic appointment at Penn State University. A former school administrator, Witmer has managed various projects for the Pennsylvania Department of Education and has been a program evaluator and researcher for the Penn State College of Medicine, Johns Hopkins Medical Center, and Milton Hershey School.

Review :
Many of the problems both men and women face as administrators are addressed head-on, from where to sit at a meeting to dealing with difficult people, from how aggressive to be when advocating a new program to decisions on the homefront. ... I wish this book had been available to me when I began my educational administrative career.-- "School Administrator" Witmer presents a handbook for women who want to progress their careers in educational administration, beginning with job searching, resume and interview tips, and followed by networking and understanding school structure, hierarchy, and leadership; similarities and differences between men and women and their leadership styles; communication; organizational culture; mentoring; politics and ethics; professionalism; and issues such as racial bias and sexual harassment.-- "Reference and Research Book News"
