Civil Rights Compliance: An Update. Technical Assistance Module.
McNeal, Alva E.; Gonzales, Frank, Ed.
Civil Rights compliance is the subject of this technical assistance module. It is a guide for trainers who seek to familiarize education personnel with the legal intent, the procedural requirements, and the employment practices requirements contained in Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Ten activities are described and materials, including eight transparency masters and five handouts, are included within the module. Three background readings discuss federal law and narrate the history of the civil rights movement as told in the videotape, "Eyes on the Prize." Goals for the participants are the following: (1) to become familiar with the race desegregation services available through Title IV Desegregation Assistance Centers; (2) to become familiar with the civil rights movement activities that occurred between 1954 and 1965; (3) to become familiar with the legal intent of the Civil Rights Act; (4) to become familiar with the procedural requirements for civil rights compliance; and (5) to become familiar with the employment practices requirements and practices of the civil rights legislation. The suggested time for completion of the module is 3 hours. Nine training modules and two more technical assistance modules are available on topics related to desegregation and equity. (VM)
