Review

Employing a combination of theoretical frameworks, reflection exercises, and primary lessons, Venditto provides educators with a practitioner’s guide to identify gender equity issues and create gender-inclusive classrooms. For example, using the "Listening and Looking Tours" in chapter 2, educators may assess the gender equity in their classrooms. Chapter 3 then considers how to develop students into change agents, how to engage parents as "gender-equity partners," and how to develop a classroom action plan. Venditto discusses how creating a solid plan of action can drive positive change and shift organizational culture to facilitate school-wide gender equity. She provides step-by-step information on engaging in a school-wide program by creating a team charter, forming the right leadership team, developing the action plan, and engaging parents. Two chapters offer primary and intermediate lesson plans that help teachers engage students about gender issues. The final chapter provides educators with resources that may allow them to further engage in gender equity assessment and exercises. Overall, this is an excellent text for practitioners looking for lesson plans and reflection exercises to bring gender equity into their elementary school classrooms. Summing Up: Recommended. Professionals.

I was drawn into this book and didn’t want to put it down. It focuses on the need for all educators—and really anybody—to reflect critically and deeply on the adverse impact of gender bias on children and its effect on their personal development and achievement in school. The author gives readers a practical road map to examine and understand gender-healthy practices in schools and communities that will be meaningful for generations to come. Gender Equity in Elementary Schools is an invaluable resource for teachers and school leaders; it can help educators drive positive, actionable change in schools. -- Peggy Brookins, National Board Certified Teacher, President and CEO National Board for Professional Teaching Standards

Think you don’t have gender bias? Believe that your own gender or teaching experience can overcome any perceived bias? Ready for a challenge, discovery, and growth - just like your students? Then this carefully crafted toolbox is for you! And it’s also for those who don’t think they need it. Dorothy Venditto’s laser-like focus on today, and tomorrow’s gender equity issue is a new seed of enlightenment for the educator in all of us. Her comprehensive, thought provoking tips and strategies are valuable teaching tools, created as living documents we all must continually nurture. The call to action for self-reflection that Venditto highlights will lead to impactful development and changes required for gender equity health in our schools. -- Dennis Fitzgerald, elementary educator

The classroom can still be an unequal space. This book is both an important call to action and a valuable road map for any educator who strives to make sure that his or her classroom is a setting where gender equity is assured and all children can flourish. When the classroom becomes a better and safer place, so too does our country and our world. -- Kayce Freed Jennings, director of Girl Rising Educators

Being the father of two girls, ages 11 and 15, and having the opportunity as an administrator to have seen Dorothy in action with our students, it is wonderful to see her work in a book. Gender Equity in Elementary Schools is a perfect blueprint for schools. It assists teachers with activities and resources to create responsive, proactive schools and become transformational in their approach to develop gender equitable schools. The wonderful thing about Dorothy’s approach is to focus in class, at school, and the larger community to make change. -- Edward Escobar, director of Pupil Personnel Services, Bedford Central School District

I highly recommend Gender Equity in Elementary Schools, both for educators and parents alike. Ms. Venditto has written a compelling, thoroughly researched and well-written book about ways to build and sustain a gender-healthy school environment. She shows us, through meticulous detail and plentiful examples (many based on her own teaching experience), how teachers and administrators can create a roadmap to assess gender practices and develop effective strategies for change as needed. Ms. Venditto writes with an admirable sense of humility, sharing that "I worked hard to recalibrate my practice." when reflecting on some of her own gender-related behaviors/teaching practices that inspired her work on this topic. She also helps us understand how not only teachers, but parents and students too can be agents of change. Ultimately, this book shines a spotlight on the valuable role we can all play in empowering our children, helping them grow, and setting girls and boys on the best path to optimizing their full potential in life.

Sometimes we think that gender issues explode around puberty. And well, of course those can be pretty volatile years. But the foundation of how children feel about their gender starts much earlier. As the author points out, gender bias starts around kindergarten age. This book gives lots of food for thought for those of us who work in elementary schools. It has lessons for staff and for students in grades K-6 and background in gender science. For those of us working in elementary schools, this book is a valuable resource in thinking about all the ways we can help our kids, both girls and boys, grow up strong and free from negative gender messages.

Venditto's text does exactly what it means to do: In an easy to read style, "Gender Equity in Elementary Schools" provides readers with needed terminology to build context and then, through the sharing of research, experiences, and resources, provides a guide to help assess and make change towards increased gender equity. I was drawn to Chapter 4 in particular which highlights how to make gender equity more than one person's focus. The chapter provides great visuals as well as insight for professional learning. Later chapters provide pedagogical supports and dive deep into intersectionality. A must have for all educators.

Love the encouraging, thought-provoking and honest voice the permeates this book: as a parent and college professor, I’m grateful for the push to reflect critically on my own behavior and I think grade school educators will absolutely love the gender-equity lessons included in this book! Such a helpful book, and so necessary.
