The criteria for all strategies should include consideration of whether the
proposed course of action will detract or build partnership between females
and males at home, at work, and/or at school.
1. Create systemic change. i.e., to increase enrollment in vocational
technology, redesign the curriculum so that it is so significant that it
will be required to be taken by all students, boys and girls.
2. Make gender equity a key component of School Improvement and Safety
programs.
3. Address sexual harassment at all grade levels. Teach children
strategies for peaceful interactions. Make sure that both girls and boys
are being schooled in a supportive, caring environment.
