Educational Equity. Teaching, Learning, Achieving.

Overview & Synopsis

The units in this curriculum guide are designed for use by state vocational education personnel to train teachers, administrators, and staff in the area of sex bias and sex-role stereotyping. The units are also designed to be used by local classroom teachers to supplement existing materials or supply in-depth information on sex bias and sex-role stereotyping in vocational education. Three units are included in the guide: (1) Classroom Strategies for Promoting Sex-Fair Education, (2) Promoting Sex-Fair Education through Instructional Materials, and (3) Skills for Implementing Sex-Fair Education in the Classroom. Each unit follows a typical format that includes eight components: performance objectives, suggested activities for teacher, information sheets, trasnparency masters, assignment sheets, job sheets, tests, and answers to tests and assignment sheets. Depending on the specific objectives, transparency masters, assignment sheets, and job sheets may or may not be included in the unit of instruction. (LRA)
