Lessons are designed to accommodate 60 minute class periods but are easily adaptable to longer or shorter periods. Depending on the prior knowledge and skill sets of your students, you may need to teach some lessons over the course of more than one class period to allow time to review (or in some cases, teach for the first time) concepts students should have learned in elementary and middle school (as we know, not all students have had consistent access to high quality sex education throughout their academic careers). All of these lessons could easily be extended to be taught over two or more hours or multiple class periods either by incorporating the homework assignment into the lesson, diving deeper into the content, or by allowing additional time for questions and responses.
The units are:
- Expectations and Safer Space
- Reproductive Anatomy
- Sexuality and Gender Identity
- Sexually Transmitted Infections
- Risk Reduction
- Healthy Relationships
- Human Trafficking Prevention
What else is included?
Inclusive Sex Education also includes an extensive introduction with information on how to best approach teaching sex education from an inclusive and trauma-informed approach. There is also a vocabulary guide to common words used by the LGBTQIA+ community and examples of how to talk about anatomy using gender-inclusive terminology.
