Summary:Intended for a group of twelve to sixteen people with one facilitator, CESSHEE (Conflicts in Eliminating Sex Stereotyping in Home Economics Education) includes materials and instructions for a simulation game for individuals concerned with how sex discrimination, stereotyping, and bias may influence the enrollment of both sexes in home economics courses. Objectives are to identify and clarify beliefs and issues related to (1) who may influence the decision of students to enroll in home economics and their reasons and (2) how sex stereotyping and bias limit possibilities of both males and females enrolling in home economics. Seven group members role play people from the community and public school system serving on a special committee which is to make a recommendation to the school board about a one-semester required home economics course on independent and family living. The roles include a recent male graduate, young working mother, female PTA president, male director of counseling, male curriculum director, female high school senior, and female home economics teacher and department chairperson. The game simulation proceeds from committee member position statements, discussion, ano rebuttal to entire group discussion and voting. Role descriptions, directions for observers (the remaining group members), and voting sheets are provided. (YLB)
