Autoethnography of a First-Time Superintendent: Challenges to Leadership for Social Justice

Pages 163-176 | Published online: 23 Apr 2008
 

Abstract

This autoethnography elucidates the challenges I encountered in my efforts to maintain my commitment to leadership for social justice. When I assumed the superintendency of a small rural school district in southern Texas, I started collecting data in the form of a journal. My lived experiences, as recorded in my journal, were the sole source of data for this inquiry. This study provides a descriptive analysis of my daily experiences as a first-time superintendent. Due to time limitations, this project focuses only on the first year of my superintendency, giving particular attention to the political and social factors that impeded my philosophy of social justice.
