Teachers and Educators  

Studies have shown that modelling and enacting respectful, gender equal, when used in combination with classroom learning, can achieve significant change in attitudes and behaviours within schools. 

By embracing a whole-school approach that encompasses students, teachers and all school community members, we can embed a culture of respect and equality across all facets of school life from classrooms and staffrooms, to the sports field and events. 

• Schools can make change by allocating financial, staffing and planning resources to promote gender equality and respectful relationships, and include key issues and actions in annual strategic planning. 

• Teachers and educators can make change by incorporating teaching into their syllabus that supports students to understand and analyse gender roles, norms and healthy relationships in age-appropriate ways.
