Top 10
Things you can do to promote gender equity in your classroom:

1	Call on girls as often as you call on boys.

2	Encourage girls to speak up in class.

3	Do not allow gender referencing in your class room. Comments like, "This is 'Sissy stuff'." or "Only boys play sports", have no place in the classroom.

4	Go out of your way to integrate women in history in your lesson plan.

5	Provide gender-fair materials.

6	Show your enthusiasm in all subject areas.

7	Educate yourself of the differences in learning styles.

8	Encourage girls at a young age to learn about non-traditional career areas such as math and science.

9	Educate yourself and peers on gender bias in the classroom.

10	Be a role model!

Note to Teachers:

Being aware of classroom inequities is just the beginning. The most important thing you can do for a child of any age is help them increase and maintain their self-esteem. Do this by celebrating their individuality and what they add to the world.
