| Abstract | This study applied feminist theory (Crossman, 2018) and glass ceiling theory (Dunlap & Schmuck, 1995) through the lens of a transformative worldview framework (Creswell, 2014) to understand the formal and informal learning experiences of superintendents in southern California. The purpose of this study was to examine the differences between the formal and informal learning experiences of superintendents in southern California to help encourage more women to pursue to this leadership position with a greater understanding of the professional expectations, experiences, and barriers to entry. More specifically, this study set out to determine: (1) what formal and informal learning do superintendents experience to develop their understanding of the organizational culture of school districts, (2) are there differences in the formal educational attainment degrees between female and male superintendents, (3) are there differences in the formal and informal learning between female and male superintendents as they develop their understanding of school district culture, and (4) what barriers did female superintendents overcome in order to become school superintendents? This study implemented a transformative explanatory sequential mixed-methods approach in which 43 superintendents from throughout southern California completed an online survey and nine female and seven male superintendents were selected to participate in a semi-structured interview. Through the process of triangulation, this study's findings indicated that there are additional barriers to entry into the superintendency for female superintendents; however, a doctoral degree was found to help accelerate entry into the superintendency for both females and males. This study provides recommendations to help promote a more equitable selection process for superintendents that may help to increase the overall representation of females in the superintendency.
