Changing Sexist Practices in the Classroom. Women in Education.
Stern, Marjorie, Ed.
Practical methods and materials for changing sexist practices in the classroom are offered as a resource for teachers in their efforts to eliminate sexual stereotyping from the schools. Discussing why sexist practices should be changed are reprints of articles on women's role in social change and in the curriculum, development of sexual stereotypes, and women studies programs at the elementary through higher education level. Methods for classroom use are suggested, particularly at the elementary level. Materials for teacher and classroom use include statistics on working women and feminists in history, independent study project suggestions, teaching activities, course outlines, resources for women studies, and criteria and guidelines for evaluating and improving the image of women in instructional materials. Two bibliographies conclude the guide. (Author/KSM)
