The conference was one activity of the Sex Equity in Educational Leadership Project (SEEL), funded by the Women's Educational Equity Act of the Office of Education, to develop a model program for increasing sex equity among school administrators. The Project has been in existence since Fall, 1976, and has sponsored a number of activities aimed at increasing awareness of the inequities in school management positions held by men and women and at developing support for changing this situation. This report is designed to be used by people who attended the conference, by others who might be interested in the conference activities, and by people who may be planning a similar conference. Reports of the conference content and an evaluation of the conference activities are included. The first four chapters are reports of the conference activities, the fifth chapter is an evaluation of the conference; various documents and supporting materials are in Chapter 6.Item Open Access Public Prejudice Against Women School Administrators: Fact or Fiction?(University of Oregon, 1977) Stockard, Jean; Hart, Janet; Schmuck, Patricia A.While a majority of the professionals in education are women, the various occupational areas within education are sharply segregated by sex. Two thirds of all teachers in the United States are women, yet only 19.6% of the elementary school principals, 1.4% of the secondary school principals, and 0.1% of the superintendents in the country are women (Fischel and Pottker, 1974:6). This sex differential has persisted at least since the late nineteenth century (Tyack, 1974:61). One possible reason for this discrepant sex ratio is that the general public does not support women being school administrators. This paper explores that possibility by reviewing the results of earlier studies and reporting the results of a survey of adults in a western state in 1977.
