The module helps workshop participants (1) become aware of federal guidelines and legislation regarding sex discrimination in schools, (2) gain information about changes which can be made in daily classroom organization in order to eliminate sexist teaching techniques, (3) develop special activities and materials which can be utilized in the classroom and in the counseling setting to counteract sex-role stereotyping, and (4) gain facility in interpersonal skills which can assist them in eliminating sex-role stereotyping. Workshop facilitators are provided with instructional guidelines, participant activities and supplemental reading materials. Examples of the ten participant activities include "Overview of Title IX,""Planning for Change," and "Simulation in Sexism." Each suggested activity is presented in this format: reference to objective, awareness level, purpose, logistics, materials, time required, and process (and variations).
