for Gender Equity</A>
ANNOUNCING - The Myra Sadker Curriculum Award
Since gender bias can emerge in any subject area, shouldn't every
discipline
confront this bias?
Should teacher education programs promote curriculum development that
counters society's biases?
Can an interdisciplinary approach strengthen our efforts to eliminate
sexism,
racism, classism and other forms of bias in schools?
If you answered yes to these questions, then we want you to participate in
The Myra Sadker Curriculum Award program. This award will honor an
original,
creative lesson plan that integrates an aspect of gender equity into the
classroom curriculum. The possibilities are really limitless! Though gender
is central to the lesson plan, its relationship with race, ethnicity,
sexual
orientation, religion, ability and language are all important and
encouraged.
As you explore new and effective methodologies this semester, consider how
gender is depicted in curricula and how these lessons affect both males and
females. And as you develop your language arts, social studies, science,
math, and technology lesson plans, why not integrate gender equity?
