FAQ Packets

FAQ packets are a series of frequently asked questions that were developed in response to request for practical, useful information on today's emerging educational issues—and the implications for gender equitable education—designed to complement the Center's popular WEEA Digests. Each FAQ packet contains a relevant WEEA Digest, an overview of the topic, fact sheets, the most frequently asked questions and answers, a checklist, and resources to help you work toward equity in education.

Disability
Designed to provide basic information on gender and disability with practical tools to help you ensure that gender equity is part of the curriculum for students with disabilities. Includes information on laws, data on education, answers to frequently asked questions on disability issues, and resources.

Science
At all levels of education, educators equipped with the proper knowledge and tools must inspire their students to build a strong technical foundation so that graduates of the nation's educational system can ultimately replenish and enhance the technological workforce. To help you work toward that goal, this packet is designed to provide basic information about gender equity in relation to science education.

Title IX
Designed to provide basic information about Title IX, the law that prohibits sex discrimination in federally funded education programs and activities. The packet outlines steps that you can take to advance gender equity and also contains practical resources to help you assess whether your school is in compliance with Title IX.
