Futures: Preparing Young Women for High Skilled, High Wage Careers
Video (40 min., 1998) -- Still wonder why only one female student signed up
for the auto tech or physics engineering class… and she dropped out after two
weeks? IWITTS's new interactive teacher training video combines acted scenes
with documentary footage of teachers, students, internship coordinators and
parents. Follow "Lisa" from career counseling to the classroom to an
internship. Watch how her teacher, counselor and internship coordinator
support her. Group discussion questions after each section: Recruitment,
Retention, and the Workplace. (NSF funded).
A Video Facilitator's Guide (15 pages) -- Answers the questions in the
Futures video. Highlights strategies and key points from the video. An
invaluable learning aide and reference, both for individuals and for those
who plan to conduct workshops using the video.
School-To-Work: Preparing Young Women for Nontraditional Careers
A Trainer's Workshop Guide (36 pages) -- Teachers, counselors, and
school-to-work and equity coordinators find strategies they can put to work
right away in this terrific guide to recruiting and retaining young women in
nontraditional classes and school-to-work activities. Rated "excellent" by
teachers, the guide also addresses how to prepare employers to welcome young
women in work-based learning experiences. Lecture notes, handouts, case
studies and transparency templates make the guide an indispensable tool for
educating others.

keep workshop participants on track with this must-have companion to "A
Trainer's Workshop Guide." Case studies and case analysis worksheets provide

counselor, or a school-to-work or gender equity coordinator, you won't want
to miss this vital inventory of practical resources you can use with your
students! Encourage young women to consider nontraditional careers with
