7. Title IX and Sexual Harassment. 25 Years of Title IX. WEEA Digest.

Author

Educational Development Center, Inc., Newton, MA. WEEA Equity Resource Center. and Smith, Susan J.

Abstract

This digest provides an analysis of sexual harassment in the context of Title IX issues. It features five articles, all of which examine a different component of Title IX concerns. It reports on a 1993 national survey that found that sexual harassment remains a significant problem, affecting both males and females. Two-thirds of all students surveyed reported being the targets of sexual comments, jokes, gestures, or looks. Recent court decisions have helped clarify what constitutes sexual harassment, and guidelines for schools are offered, such as the statement that sexual harassment is more than a peck on the cheek. The text describes ways that schools should respond to sexual harassment, including the admonition that the punishment should fit the crime. Strategies for handling sexual harassment include keeping a diary if sexual harassment happens more than once. Some trends in litigation involving sexual harassment are detailed, including some Supreme Court decisions and the recent case in which schools must receive actual notice of harassment to be held liable. For schools to be in compliance with Title IX, they must hire a coordinator who investigates complaints and other concerns. (RJM)

Abstract

Building an effective classroom for all boys and girls is the first step in increasing student achievement.

35. Madison Area High Risk Project. Final Report, October 1, 1983 through September 30, 1986.

Author

Pohuski, Linda and Smith, Susan J.

Abstract

This final report summarizes the objectives, activities and outcomes of a federally funded program that was designed to provide parent training and early intervention services to children and families in 4 counties of north Alabama. A total of 61 children were enrolled in the project over three years. All were less than 36 months of age and had varying severities of conditions. They came from rural, small town and urban homes, and were from a variety of socio-economic strata. Most children participated in both home visits and group classes. Families received ongoing support and training from staff members, and this was seen by staff members as the strongest aspect of the program. Families' evaluations of the program also reflected general satisfaction with the support and training they received. This report contains overviews of the services provided to children, the services provided to parents, staff development activities, community relations/demonstration/dissemination activities, and program evaluations.
