Making It Happen: Gender Equitable Classrooms by Elois Scott & Heather McCollum - 1993In the first section of this chapter we explore current research on
variations in teaching practice that result in inequities between girls
and boys and between minority and non-minority groups and we
examine the consequences of these inequities. In the second section we
review the research on changing institutional behavior and we tie what is known from research about institutional change to how we
can change teachers' behavior to bring about better practice. In the
third section we use the research on effective teaching to suggest
strategies for teachers that will facilitate a more equitable classroom
environment for all students. Finally, we draw upon a recent report of
the National Coalition on Women and Girls in Education that shows
how reaching the National Education Goals for the year 2000 is
contingent upon making sure that the educational needs of girls and
women are met. View Full Text in PDF FormatThis article originally appeared as NSSE Yearbook Vol 92, No. 1. |
