All opinions expressed in the blog are solely my own.
Did you know that only 11% of the stories in U.S. History Textbooks are about women?
Women are underrepresented in every category of role models. Expecting leadership without teaching it is unrealistic. Excellent teachers and coaches tell the truth.
Norwood guidance counselor Coach Kristen McDonnell runs periodic sessions entitled, LEADHERSHIP. She was named Boston Herald Coach of the Decade for leading Braintree to four state championships.
Looking forward to our LeadHERship session tonight (7-8pm) led by ARMY West Point coach, @CoachTraversi. The link has been emailed out. If any other coach would like to join, please email me at kmcdonnell@norwood.k12.ma.us. pic.twitter.com/4zzrBHJ6Jm

In the college basketball coaching categories, prominent women have included:
Dawn Staley (South Carolina, USWNT)
Tara VanDerveer (Stanford, born in Melrose, MA)
Pat Summitt (Tennessee)
An advertising agency put together an app, "Lessons in Herstory."
Don't confine learning to prominent women in history, but if gender equality is important, teaching stories of prominent women deserves more attention.
