Educator's Guide To Controlling Sexual Harassment

Controlling sexual harassment has become a top priority in educational institutions. Drawing on leading specialists in education and sexual harassment law, our Educator's Guide to Controlling Sexual Harassment provides clear explanations of confusing gray areas of sexual harassment, such as hostile environment, sexual favoritism and consensual relations as they affect and impose liabilities on the education community.

The Guide explains in plain English what to include in policies and complaint procedures and how to communicate them. You'll also find a detailed training module designed for use by all school employees which provides information on how to prevent sexual harassment and the proper reporting and handling of complaints. The training module includes minute-by-minute lesson plans and master transparencies and handouts. (Separate modules for K-12 and college-level are provided.)

The Guide contains sample policies, checklists, lesson plans and other resources to support your prevention and complaint processing efforts. It also demonstrates step-by-step how to receive and investigate complaints in a fair, effective and legal way.

Your subscription includes monthly updates and a news bulletin to keep you in touch with the latest court and administrative rulings, as well as current policies and practices.
