Abstract
This paper contributes to the growing literature on mentoring for leaders in schools. Because of women's underrepresentation in educational administration and their lack of access to traditional mentoring relationships, a particular type of formal mentoring programme is advocated for women educators who are actively seeking leadership positions within schools. Some key issues are raised in relation to the conceptualisation of a professional mentorship programme and recommendations are offered.Keywords
