This guide for teachers, in English and Spanish, examines the stereotyped work roles assigned to men and women. The guide examines educational materials that perpetuate these roles and presents teaching alternatives which reinforce students' self esteem and confidence. A pre-test and post-test are included to measure the user's awareness of stereotyped work roles. Five object lessons cover the following topics: (1) sex discrimination within the labor force; (2) occupational stereotypes; (3) stereotyped sexual and work roles; (4) the use of male terms for occupations in Spanish; and (5) classroom alternatives for overcoming sexual stereotyping.
