Description
Summary:
Project BORN FREE is a multidimensional effort to intervene in educational institutions to help reduce career-related sex-role stereotyping. It also attempts to expand career options through increasing faculty and parent awareness of their own socialized attitudes and behaviors and their impact on students. It is an indirect intervention, focusing on developmental influences within educational institutions and throughout the life span. It is also a change agent project (helping teachers, counselors, parents and administrators work together for change) and a training project (creating print and videotape materials and training workshops). This article explains the total conception of the project, describing the intervention programs for the first and second years, and outlining some of the conceptual frameworks which underlie the project.
