You might want to look at the work by David and Myra (now
deceased) Sadker...I found a nice piece from a Dateline show that was
done just after the AAUW report on How Schools shortchange girls. That
makes it about 1992, but to me it didn't seem dated. It runs about 8
minutes.

Hi folks,
I'm an 8th grade teacher in a medium-sized middle and high school in
Vermont. As one of a very few teachers here who have been trying to raise
awareness of gender equity issues in the classroom, I have been asked to
give a brief introduction and give a "pitch" for GE at an in-service
just before school begins this year.
The audience will include middle and high school faculty, administration
and some board members. I am concerned that there may be entrenched
resistance to the idea. One indicator came this summer when, during a
chat about it, one of my fellow teachers said "but we already have a
sexual harassment policy."
I need a good sound bite or grabber that will quickly demonstrate the
need, for our attention on this.
Thanks,
