Gender-Inclusive Curriculum Design
A gender-inclusive curriculum avoids reinforcing stereotypes and actively includes diverse perspectives, experiences, and coaching styles. According to LaVoi & Dutove (2012), such curricula promote awareness, critical thinking, and practical skills to coach diverse populations.
Core principles include:
- Including case studies featuring successful women coaches.
- Addressing unconscious bias, microaggressions, and inclusive communication.
- Discussing intersectionality and its impact on coaching practices.
- Embedding gender equality into leadership, communication, and ethics modules.
Educators should use reflective assignments and role-play to explore real-world scenarios related to gender bias and equity.
