The Maryland State Department of Education assists local school districts
in implementing Education That Is Multicultual Regulations that require
Five Year Plans to address curriculum, instruction, and staff development
concerns. I am looking for examples of self-assessment instruments that
local districts might be able to adapt to evaluate inclusion of
multicultural, gender-fair practices in their plans. Does anyone have
sample assessment tools or assessment guidelines? Please let me know
through edequity or by calling me at 410-767-0428 or faxing me at
410-767-0431, Thanks and Happy New Year! Linda Shevitz, Maryland State
Department of Education (shev3@radix.net).
