Following some introductory thoughts about sex bias and examples of sex bias and school-based sex-role stereotyping, the handbook briefly discusses Title IX of the Civil Rights Act. The rest of the handbook contains 35 classroom activities for increasing students' understanding of sexism and awareness of how it affects their self-concept and decisions as well as personal interactions. Some of the activities to expose sexism in the classroom are the following: understanding the concept of stereotyping; attitude surveys comparing male/female expectations; cultural exaggeration of sex differences; elimination of gender from occupational titles; elimination of sex bias/stereotyping in "at-home" jobs; examining the effects of sexism on salaries; students' perceptions of psychological gender differences; social stereotypes versus reality; analyzing texts for sexism; sexist language; sexism in advertising; sexist humor; and women in leadership. Each activity includes purpose, time, materials needed, and steps to conduct the activity. A bibliography lists 82 books, 25 journal articles and documents, 12 audiovisual aids, and 12 works cited in preparing the guide. An evaluation report on the use of the handbook is also included. It shows that the project was successful in training teachers to change their behavior and that the 352 students involved changed their self-evaluations sex roles.

Yes, sexism - the belief that people shoulddo certain things and behavein a particular manner according to theirgender- is present in almost every social aspect of our lives,even the classroom. Thishandbook is intended to assist teachers inthe task of removing sex bias and sex role stereotyping from the classroom. Most importantly, this work containsthirty-five activities forincreasing the student's understanding ofsexism and awareness of howit affects his/her self concept and decisionsas well as personal interactions. Once the issue is openly addressed and explored, then the studentcan begin to gain freedom from the restrictive thinking and behaviorswhich accompany the prejudice. We hope this material willserve as a starting place or facility for thisprocess. We anticipate that,as you use this material,you will experience thesame interest,stimulation,and enlightenmentwe enjoyed as we developed it.
