Kaser, Joyce S.; Frazier, Alethea C.
This document contains the teacher's guide and learner workbook for instructional units designed to provide practical knowledge and skills to help women who are reentering school fulfill their multiple roles. Titles of the instructional units are: What Tomorrow Will Bring; We're All in This Together; Who's Minding the Children? (Infants and Preschoolers); Who's Minding the Children? (School-Age Youngsters); Doing More Around the House in Less Time; Managing Alone; and Getting What You Want and Need. The teacher's guide includes on optional unit, The Safety Net. For each unit, the teacher's guide includes a set of objectives, suggested time allowance, a list of materials needed, a list of references and resource materials, and instructions for teaching the lessons. In addition to giving advice about the management of multiple roles, the workbook asks learners to do various activities (such as react to case studies; set career, education, and family management goals; and use evaluative checklists to monitor their own behavior) designed to make that management advice concrete and to personalize it for the learner.
