Sourcebook for Equal Goals in Occupations.

Overview & Synopsis

Outlining a plan of action for reducing sex bias, sex role stereotyping, and sex discrimination in secondary school vocational education programs, this source book was prepared by vocational education instructors, counselors, and administrators. After a discussion of the consequences of sex discrimination and sex role stereotyping, the sourcebook is divided into four main sections: legislation, counseling, teaching environment, and publications. The legislation section contains information on Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 and Title II of the Education Amendments of 1976. The counseling section discusses sexism, program assessment, and enrollment trends. The teaching environment section describes materials and methods to help free an educational setting of sex bias. The public relations section, constituting about two-thirds of the sourcebook, includes awareness workshop materials for the community, school personnel, and students. A list of seven audiovisual aids and a bibliography are appended. (LMS)
