National Sexuality Education Standards - Pt I = Intro to Implementation

 

National Sexuality Education Standards Part 1: Intro to Implementation
September 6, 2012, 1:30-3:00 pm EST
Hosted by American School Health Association

 

The quality and content of comprehensive sexuality education varies greatly depending on the state, district, school and even teacher. Four leading national health and education organizations along with Advocates for Youth, Answer and SIECUS, have released the National Sexuality Education Standards: Core Content and Skill K-12 in January 2012. This webinar will provide the background, rationale and process by which the Standards were created and strategies for adoption and implementation for educational and health professionals working on the front lines of sexuality education nationwide.
