In this lesson, students will explore their assumptions about what kind of work they do and will do. They will also explore how these expectations relate to gender by examining the fields in which women are employed and the discrepancies between women’s and men’s pay. They will reflect on how gender-based injustice might affect them, and explore ways to change the situation.
Teaching Tolerance is dedicated to reducing prejudice, improving intergroup relations and supporting equitable school experiences for our nation’s children. Our teaching materials have won two Oscars, an Emmy and more than 20 honors from the Association of Educational Publishers, including two Golden Lamp Awards, the industry’s highest honor. Scientific surveys demonstrate that our programs help students learn respect for differences and bolster teacher practice.
