- Checking Your Balance. Guidelines for Assessing Sexism in School and Classroom Practices. Zamost, Judith G. Feldman, Sylvia D. Check Lists Educational Assessment Educational Legislation Educational Opportunities Elementary Secondary Education Equal Education Evaluation Criteria Females School Policy Sex Discrimination Sex Fairness Sex Stereotypes Student Rights School districts can use this checklist to implement federal and state regulations concerning equal educational opportunity. The 125 questions are organized around seven sex fairness concerns: practices which may encourage sex stereotyping; textbook and curriculum; counseling opportunities; pregnancy; in-service training; physical education; and team sports. The questions deal with school practices in relation to the following: classroom seating; task assignment; the school library, discipline, extra-curricular activities, course selection; work study programs; testbook and curriculum; bulletin boards; courselor representation; testing; class enrollments; career awareness; scholarships; rights of pregnant students; and opportunities for, participation in, and attitudes toward, physical education classes and team sports. After tallying yes responses a guide is provided for school districts to determine their status regarding equal opportunities for males and females. The list of questions is not exhaustive; rather, it is intended to stimulate thinking. (CP)
