Abstract	A study was conducted to identify, develop, and evaluate alternative strategies which vocational educators could employ with students, teachers, and/or administrators to eliminate and prevent the restrictive influences of sex stereotyping and sex bias on the interests, attitudes, occupational expectations, and training offered to secondary school students of both sexes. Using a three-phase methodology (an assessment of the state-of-the-art, a survey of vocational administrators' needs, and the development and evaluation of student curricular strategies), it was found that (1) state and local programs are in initial development stages; (2) information needs exist in the following areas: curricular materials for all students, teacher and administrator inservice and resource materials, program development information, and program implementation information; (3) curricular strategies and staff-created curricular materials have significant impact on student awareness, attitudes, and knowledge about sex bias; and (4) need exists for further research on the elimination of sex bias in vocational education. At the conclusion of the study, six products were published: this executive summary; a final technical report (CE 016 886); an administrator manual, entitled "Strategies to Eliminate Sex Stereotyping and Sex Bias" (CE 016 860); and three sets of student materials, entitled "Eliminating Sexism: Rewriting the Scripts" (CE 016 861); "Sex Stereotyping, Bias and Discrimination in the World of Work: A Student Workbook" (CE 016 881); and "In Search of a Job: A Simulation Activity in Occupational Decision-Making" (CE 016 882).
