What is gender
equity?
Gender
equity is a set of actions, attitudes, and assumptions that provide opportunities
and create expectations about individuals. In our definition of gender
equity, gender is never separate from race, ethnicity, language, disability,
income, or other diversities that define us as human beings. It offers
a framework for educational reform in which all females and males
- are engaged, reflective
learners, regardless of the subject
- are prepared for
future education, jobs, careers, and civic participation
- set and meet high
expectations for themselves and others
- develop as respectful,
inclusive, and productive individuals, friends, family members, workers,
and citizens
- receive equitable
treatment and achieve equitable outcomes in school and beyond
