EDEQUITY on MAJORDOMO@CONFER.EDC.ORG      Educational Equity

   EDEQUITY (Educational Equity Discussion List) is an international
   theory and practice discussion list on issues of educational equity
   in a multicultural context in schools, colleges and other education
   sites.  Educational equity is designed to encourage discussion
   between teachers and other educators, equity practitioners,
   advocates, parents, policymakers, counselors and others interested in
   equity.  EDEQUITY serves as a forum to discuss how to attain equity
   for males and females;  and how gender equity can be a helpful
   construct for improving education for all.  The participation of both
   women and men is welcomed.

   Educational equity refers to an educational environment in which
   individuals can consider options and make choices based on their
   abilities and talents, not on the basis of stereotypes, biased
   expectations, or discrimination.  The achievement of educational
   equity enables females and males of all races and ethnic backgrounds
   develop skills needed to be productive, empowered citizens.  It opens
   economic and social opportunities regardless of gender, ethnicity,
   race or social status.

   Topics for discussion include, but are not limited to, classroom
   interactions, curriculum development, school environment, education
   reform, violence prevention, math and science education, vocational
   and nontraditional education, school-to-work issues, community-based
   learning, and counseling.  This list gives people an opportunity to
   ask questions and exchange information about teaching strategies,
   useful texts and films, innovative programs, current research, and
   funding sources.
