Description
This qualitative study explores the experiences of women administrators in high-poverty community schools, investigating four women's perspectives on work demands and the impact on their families. Their work demands are related to the characteristics of impoverished communities, whereas their work resources are based on intrinsic rewards and social justice. Family demands and resources are related to the developmental stages of families, and therefore vary among the women interviewed. The research identifies the boundary-spanning demands between work and home, and the resources and strategies used by these educational leaders to manage the challenges of working in high-poverty community schools. Key words: school leadership, urban education, principals, inner-city schools
