ABSTRACT: This guide outlines a 3-day program for
principals that sensitizes them to equity issues so they
can create an educational environment true to the
principles of equal education. Objectives are the
following: (1) provide participants with an overview of
equity concepts and effective schooling research; (2)
increase awareness of classroom disparity; (3) expand
observation and supervision skills to include equity issues
related to curriculum, teacher-student interactions, and
the learning environment; and (4) share research-based
strategies, techniques, and resources with which to address
disparities and improve student achievement. The program is
conducted by local facilitators who have received
leadership training. Each session includes research and
self-assessment on effective schooling and what effective
administrators can do to maximize the potential of all
students. Equity concepts related to the following areas
are infused into the program: (1) gender; (2) race; (3)
disability; (4) national origin; and (5) socioeconomic
class. After each session, participants make observations
on their sites utilizing information studied in the
workshop. The program also includes resources and
strategies to be shared with staff and other
administrators. Three worksheets, five forms and
checklists, two transparency masters, one chart, and three
evaluation questionnaires are included. A 228-item
bibliography is appended. (FMW)
