It suggests ways to consider whether gender-stereotypic thinking and behavior might inadvertently be promoted in many aspects of life in and out of school. Re-visioning the various curricula in school and at home with gender in view can be done in small incremental steps in a deliberate, multifaceted, consistent, and cumulative fashion.
