Or look over the archived past discussions from 1996 through April 19, 1998 at http://www.edc.org/hypermail/edequity.
What Is Educational Equity?
Educational equity refers to an educational
environment in which individuals can consider
options and make choices based on their abilities
and talents, not on the basis of stereotypes, biased
expectations, or discrimination.
Who Participates?
EDEQUITY is designed to encourage discussion between
teachers and other educators, equity practitioners,
advocates, parents, counselors, and others interested
in equity. The participation of both women and men
is welcomed.
What Do We Discuss?
EDEQUITY serves as a forum to discuss how to attain
equity for males and females, and how gender equity
can be a helpful construct for improving education
for all. Topics for discussion include, but are not
limited to, classroom interactions, curriculum
development, school environment, education reform,
violence prevention, math and science education,
vocational and nontraditional education, school-to-work issues, community-based learning, and
counseling. This list gives people an opportunity
to ask questions and exchange information about
teaching strategies, useful texts and films,
innovative programs, current research, and
funding sources.
Feel free to introduce yourself to the list, describing your work and goals.

subscribe edequity-digestIf you are already subscribed to the regular mailing list but only want the digest, be sure to unsubscribe by sending this message to Majordomo@mail.edc.org:
unsubscribe edequityReplying Privately Versus Replying to Edequity
This is appropriate when the contents of your message are likely to be of interest to a number of subscribers. However, if you are writing, for example, to request a copy of something another subscriber has mentioned, please send your request privately, not to EDEQUITY. Similarly, comments directed at a particular person -approval or disapproval- that do not further contribute to the discussion should be sent privately, for example, "Bravo!", "I totally disagree.", or "That's the way!".
Public appreciation statements ("I would like to commend the fine work of. . . ") are acceptable if related to educational equity and addressed to the audience of subscribers
Job Openings
Feel free to send information on job openings as long as
the position has some connection to educational equity. The wish to reach
more female candidates is not an adequate reason to post noneducational
equity positions.
Conferences
Educational and/or equity conference announcements are welcome
on EDEQUITY. However, do not send registration forms, housing information,
or schedules. Include contact persons for such information for those interested
in finding out more.
Resources
You are encouraged to list resources (materials, organizations,
references, etc.) to EDEQUITY. Please list as much information as possible
about the resource (title, publisher, address, phone and fax numbers, etc.)
and a brief description and/or opinion of the resource.
Advertising
Feel free to list and discuss resources available from
your organization if recently available or relevant to a current discussion
on the list. Advertisements for professional services -particularly those
unrelated to educational equity- are inappropriate. If you're not sure whether
to post such a message, contact the list administrator at EDEQUITY-ADMIN@MAIL.EDC.ORG.
Moderated List
This list is
administrated jointly by Education Development

list, EDC reserves the right to delete and archive
messages, use the archives for research purposes,
delete memberships and take other actions it deems
responsible, desirable, or necessary to take. The
administrator reserves the right to carry out these
