ABSTRACT: This program manual is a distillation of a 5-year,
10-site national experience in the development of a 7-step
model for increasing the enrollment of women and girls in
education and training that is nontraditional for their sex.
It is intended to extend the impact of the Educational
Equity Options Project by making the process accessible to
educational institutions, state sex equity coordinators,
women's and youth advocates, and community leaders. The
document consists of five chapters. Chapter 1 discusses the
need for equitable educational options. Chapter 2 provides
an overview of the Educational Equity Options Project
process. (The seven-step process is as follows: build the
team, assess the institution, identify the barriers, select
strategies, develop a plan, implement the plan, and
evaluate.) Chapter 3 is a step-by-step guide to implementing
the project, with information on how to accomplish each
step, what problems to anticipate along the way, and what
strategies to use to prevent or overcome the problems. Each
step includes a section of supplemental materials such as
worksheets and handouts. Chapter 4 provides the Sex Equity
Awareness training module for conducting the orientation and
planning meeting for the project team. Additionally,
possible project activities (recruitment, preenrollment,
classrooms, linkages with the community, support services,
and environment) are described. Chapter 5 is a resource
bibliography that lists 23 videos for secondary and
postsecondary students, 7 videos for middle and secondary
school students, 3 videos for disabled students (closed
captioned), 10 videos for teachers/counselors, 2 videos for
parents, 31 books, 9 series of posters, and 23 educational
equity organizations and resource centers. (CML)
