Informing Students about Nontraditional Careers. A Resource Manual.
Teddlie, Jessie; And Others
This guide presents ideas and methods for vocational educators to use in informing students about future trends and needs for equity in the work force. The following topics are discussed: (1) the persistent equity challenge and the changing labor force; (2) the awareness process (traditional attitudes, effects of gender bias, and change agents/strategies); (3) planning (understanding legislative intent; needs assessment; suggestions for administrators, counselors, and instructors; identification of areas of desired impact; and coordination with contracted equity specialists); (4) career development (gender-fair counselors; resources; career assessment; and instructor, administrator, and coordinator roles); (5) strategies for improving sex equity in vocational-technical programs (counselors, curriculum development, strategies, and activities); (6) resources (agencies, contacts, regional education service center equity coordinators, articles and periodicals, books/pamphlets, films, videos, and other supplies); and (7) joint planning (discrimination, coordination with tech prep consortia, barriers to coordination, factors facilitating coordination and linkage, the planning process, and joint planning advantages for educational institutions). A total of 175 references are listed in bibliographies throughout the guide. Appended are the following: glossary, 11 learning activities/practices for gender equity submitted by participants in a 1993 workshop on gender equity, and 5 group-developed gender equity activities developed during the workshop.
