In the current environment of global competitiveness, and an increasingly diverse population, we cannot afford to have individuals in any segment of the population consider themselves not eligible for any career field because of their race/ethnicity, gender, disability or other characteristics. Teachers need to have a set of skills that is as diverse as the students they are working with. It is a challenge to reach all the students in their classroom; but there are some simple tips to help ensure that teachers are engaging everyone. This module contains a presentation and materials to give teachers ways to include all students in their classroom.

Counselors play a pivotal role in providing opportunities for students to explore nontraditional career options. Often seen as gatekeepers, counselors can open or close doors for students. This presentation introduces counselors to the status of women and girls in STEM, why public policy regarding nontraditional career preparation exists in the Perkins Act, and provides strategies they can implement to remove barriers for students access and success in nontraditional STEM related CTE programs.
