ABSTRACT:
This issue paper provides vocational educators with a comparison of the 1998 Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Applied Technology Education
Act regarding gender equity and the 1990 act of the same name. It
includes a four-page chart that compares key gender equity
provisions from the 1990 act with the 1998 act that are most
critical to local school districts. In addition, it outlines
implications for vocational educators as they develop their local
plans to serve single parents, displaced homemakers, and individuals
entering nontraditional training and employment. Finally, it
discusses the programs and services offered throughout the past 8
years of funding from these acts. Student participation and
outcomes, resources available, and materials developed are
highlighted. (KC)
