Answer to Question 1

If the teacher is working with young children, point out how this is to his advantage--younger children show more malleability on this point than older children. Cognitive interventions that directly attack stereotypes or remove constraints on children's thinking have been shown to be particularly effective. Suggest the teacher develop a lesson plan that asks children to generate lists of gender-typed behaviors, and then ask them to imagine the opposite gender doing each of those behaviors. The teacher should then lead a discussion that points out that for most or all of those gender-typed behaviors, the opposite sex is completely able to do it. Then the teacher could ask the students to think about the benefits of engaging in behaviors normally assigned to the other sex. The fact that the teacher in this example is a male should make such an intervention particularly effective. Because men typically make stronger distinctions between gender-appropriate vs. -inappropriate behaviors, they make excellent agents of change for children.

Answer to Question 2
