Summary/Abstract: "Working women" is not only a feminist ideal but a necessity of the liberaleconomic reality. However, despite the fact that most women in the State of Israel were integratedinto the labor market, their situation is still not equal to that of men, neither in their employmentcharacteristics, nor in the wages for their work and nor in the opportunities that they have in thelabor market. The gender index for 2015 shows that women acquire human capital in order tointegrate into the public arena but fail to translate it to achievements in the labor market and toreduce the gaps in the political and economic power.The school is a social community. It is one of the main components of labor market thatemploys the largest number and percentage of women (female teachers). It is also true that theschool undergoes change processes that affect the culture of the organization. These changes affectthe processes of teaching - learning - assessment, the educational and social climate in which thereis a relation between the school and the parents and the community as a whole. The aim is to createa new space, which is different and equitable, that will enable all of the social stakeholders to breakthe boundaries of gender in behalf a of more equitable and more fair society for everyone.In fact, given the situation on the ground, the professional research and relevant literature,my experience and my personal familiarity with the area as a female teacher, educator andprofessional coordinator at one of the schools which are included in the sample and also in thelight of what I hear and know from the population of teachers in the school where I teach and fromteachers from other schools who I meet during continuing education and seminars, I decided toinvestigate, to examine and to withstand the impact of ethical perceptions, attitudes and variouscomponents of the mentality of the society in which males dominate the equality between femaleteachers and male teachers of the school staff in the middle schools in the Arab sector. Theresearch contributed to the design of work environments that can support growth and developmentprocesses that are not gender sensitive. The components addressed here target audience and itsneeds, environmental conditions, educational potential, assessment processes and more.
