This report describes programs and services school boards offer to women employees or women in the community. A special focus is innovative, nontraditional courses and services. The first section discusses offerings for school board staff. An overview of affirmative action/employment equity programs addresses their objectives and describes programs in place in various cities and regions of Canada. Next, focus shifts to the professional development activities aimed at informing, encouraging, and supporting women employees to apply for positions of added responsibility. Programs that address these topics are discussed: leadership potential, interview skills, sex equity, feminism awareness, attitudes, sex stereotypes and sex fairness. The second section considers programs for women in the community. Programs that address five areas of concern are described: changing attitudes; striving to better oneself; courses for teenage and older mothers and child care and parenting programs; joining the work force--reentry and employment programs; and interest courses and resources for women. Names and addresses of resource persons are appended. (YLB)

In October 1987, the Canadian Education Association sent out 224 questionnaires to find out how school boards give recognition to staff and how they foster a climate which enhances human relations within the school system. A total of 103 school boards responded to the survey. This report is based on the 103 surveys received. It discusses recognizing long service and retiring employees, fostering a climate that enhances human relations and staff morale, and measures under consideration. It also contains a list of school boards participating in the survey.
