ABSTRACT: This guide outlines how school districts can
identify sex discrimination against women teachers and
women administrators in their employment practices. It
offers step by-step instructions for collecting and
analyzing data relevant to hiring patterns, promotional
processes, salary, and fringe benefits. The first section
of each chapter provides background information to
determine why an issue is an important factor in
determining if discriminatory practices are occurring. The
second section of each chapter serves as an example of a
hypothetical school situation. Finally, the third section
of each chapter provides specific instructions to follow in
an examination of discriminatory practices. Worksheets to
record findings are provided.

This is an ERIC database document. ERIC is the National
Education Information Network for providing ready access
to the literature of education -descriptions of exemplary

information that can be used in developing more effective
educational programs. The ERIC database is currently
available on CD-ROM in the main library (ground floor of

number. If EJ follows ERIC TITLE NUMBER the item is a
journal article. The complete journal name is listed after
the code JOURNAL.
