Pioneers of Nontraditional Employment in Alaska. Teacher Guide.

This gender equity module is designed to assist teachers and counselors with a tool for students considering nontraditional as well as traditional careers. It provides biographical sketches of 12 Alaskans who have explored nontraditional occupations, career path information, and classroom activities that encourage exploration of nontraditional career options. The first-person sketches include insights and opinions about nontraditional employment in Alaska. These occupations are represented: site supervisor, construction laborer, military officer, elementary teacher, homemaker, civil engineer, registered nurse, child care worker, dental hygienist, librarian, law enforcement officer, and government executive. Sex Equity Regulations, Alaska Department of Education, are appended. (YLB)
