Cross-Curricular Outlines Gender Equity Gender equitable education involves the inclusion of the experiences, perceptions, and perspectives of girls and women, as well as boys and men, in all aspects of education. It will initially focus on girls in order to redress historical inequities. Generally, the inclusive strategies, which promote the participation of girls, also reach boys who are excluded by more traditional teaching styles and curriculum content.
All students have the right to a learning environment that is gender equitable.
All education programs and career decisions should be based on a student's interest and ability, regardless of gender. Gender equity incorporates a consideration of social class, culture, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, and age. Gender equity requires sensitivity, determination, commitment, and vigilance over time. The foundation of gender equity is co-operation and collaboration among students, educators, education organizations, families, and members of communities. Be committed to learning about and practising equitable teaching.
