Title IX and physical education a compliance overview ; adapted by the Resource Center on Sex Roles in Education from Title IX of the Education amendments of 1972: a manual on physical education and sports programs

This booklet examines the requirements of the Title ix regulation for physical education and the principles and activities most important for complying with these requirements. It also examines concerns most frequently raised regarding the advisability of the required changes and presents information and suggestions for evaluating and alleviating these concerns. The overview is based on the premise that compliance with Title ix requirements is not only a legal responsibility but an educational responsibility if physical education programs are to contribute optimally to the lives and development of all students. There are two main sections. The first contains a citation of the provisions of the Title ix regulation related to physical education programs and an overview of the basic guidelines according to which compliance should be evaluated. The second section focuses upon issues and activities related to the achievement of compliance. These range from regulation-specific activities such as reviewing physical education requirements and course offerings to ensure nondiscrimination, to activities such as training physical education personnel and developing community support for Title ix compliance efforts. The appendixes include a checklist for the evaluation of compliance progress and a listing of several resources for further information. (Mm).
