Management Assistant and Related Occupations Module. Achieving Sex Equity in Business and Office Education.
Bell, Sara L.; Mayhew, Carol O.
The Vocational Education Amendments of 1976 mandate that sex bias and sex stereotyping be eliminated from all vocational education programs. In business and office occupations programs, the problems have been centered around increasing the number of male students in the program, encouraging women to move into management positions and other upper level supervisory jobs, and using sex-fair language in business communications. Responding to the Amendments, the state of Delaware developed five sex-equity modules designed (1) to focus on issues which are related to specific clusters of career options as defined in Delaware's competency-based goal-oriented business and office occupations curriculum; (2) to provide information and materials for one to three days of activities; and (3) to focus the student's attention on those sex equity concerns which will affect her/his experiences as a student in the classroom, on-the-job, and in making career decisions. This module focuses on eliminating sex stereotyping in management assistant and related occupations (secretarial and stenographic). Instructional activities in the module include a pre- and post-opinion survey, definitions, language comparisons, memos and letters, a slide-tape presentation, qualifications for employment, and a posttest.
