Project will train women to lead
The University of Kansas is the center of a state-wide project to increase the number of women in administrative positions in Kansas public primary and secondary
The federally funded two-year program will prepare 13 female teachers from 10 Kansas school districts to assume leadership positions in education.
"The Women's Educational Equity Act Program has funded this project to test a model which will be used in other states if it is successful in Kansas," Judith Admission, Director of the Project of Internships, Certification, Equity Leadership and Support, said recently.
Nearly 99 percent of the school superintendents in the United States are men,
according to the American Association of School Administrators. None of the 307 superintendents in Kansas are women and many are principals in Class A&B schools are women.
DURING THE project, the participants will complete the requirements for administrative certification, which include at least 38 graduate credits in administration.
The key element in their preparation is an administrative internship. Each intern is required to work with school administrators, year working with school administrators, and interns are working with elementary school principals, four with secondary or junior schools, and four with remaining four with central office administration.
EACH INTERN has specific responsibilities and must complete a major project
in her school district. One has developed a computerized information system. Another has set up a rating scale for school facilities to measure their performance close. Two have assumed temporary responsibilities as acting principals and two have already been appointed as assistant principals.
"We have four that have been offered contracts," Tom Thomas, graduate project assistant, said, "and that's very good, since that's usually done in May."
The interns receive a salary matching that they were paid as teachers from grant funds. The interns earn $1,000 per month.
"We expect to place all of our interns in administrative positions by next fall," Adkison said. "Our success is negating the barriers they women cannot be successful leaders."

New students in education to be tested
Beginning next fall, the School of Education will require all new students and transfer students to take an English competency test, James Gowen, director of freshman-sophomore English, said yesterday.
"It is important to take this test early in college if you plan to major in education," Gowen, professor of English, said. "That way, you can take the necessary courses to insure competency."
The exam will be given at 1:30 p.m.
Saturday, April 28, in Wescow Hall.
The deadline to sign up for the test is April 25
in room 360 Wescow.
"Command of English is important for any teacher to have." Dale Scanell, a math teacher at Lakeside High School, said "As far as lack of these skills, the trends in our school were following trends in the world."
The test will be an hour and a half and include a writing sample and multiple choice questions.
"The School of Education is taking vee seriously the literacy of all teachers" Gowan said. "This is basically a placement test in composition.
