During Women's History Month, University of Delaware Associate Professor Lauren P. Bailes is taking a closer look at why males continue to outnumber females in school leadership roles, despite equivalent years of experience. "To our knowledge, this is the first study that examines assistant principals' applications when they are still part of the pool, before the hiring process has taken place," said Bailes, who studies educational leadership in UD's College of Education and Human Development (CEHD).
