| This article adds to the knowledge base on the superintendency and explores the notion of social capital in the context of the experience of three Latina superintendents. A description of social and professional networks necessary for each of the superintendents is presented. In this sense, the author reports on a phenomenon relevant to all superintendents rather than being unique to Latinas. Undoubtedly, there are more than three types of expertise that could be explained by other conceptions of social capital, however, this limited exploratory study presents three types of superintendent scenarios that demonstrate different areas of expertise linked to certain conceptions of social capital. |
