WOMEN IN THE CURRICULUM
Race, Gender and Science
By Rebecca Reviere
Techniques for
educating female students. . .
Girls in the United States typically begin their science
and mathematics education with enthusiasm and high hopes, but are more
likely than males to lower their expectations, belittle their abilities,
and drop out of science - and mathematics - based fields as the years go
by. What begins in high school accelerates in college. This
monograph, designed for teachers both in high school and college, offers
an alternative to that path by providing a workbook for curriculum
planning, a resource for grant applications, and a source for new ideas
for the classroom. It presents working examples, boxed applications,
and background research by various experts in the field to help educators
make their science classrooms more inviting and intellectually stimulating
for their female students.
