Seeing
Gender: Tools for Change is a project designed to develop and test
an interactive CD-ROM set for use with pre-service, in-service,
and college faculty in STEM fields.
The goal of the project is to increase
the number of STEM teachers and faculty members who are taking steps
to reduce gender bias in their classrooms and programs.
The set
will:
- introduce
the user to the research base on gender and gender socialization,
- sensitize
these educators to the inadvertent gender bias that operates in
STEM classrooms and programs,
- provide
classroom strategies and interventions designed to reduce bias,
and
- present
school-wide or department-wide efforts to increase the presence
of women in STEM classes and programs.
