This participatory, project-based course will provide teachers with the knowledge and skills to deliver an effective standards-based sexuality education curriculum, instruction, and assessment. Vermont’s focus on proficiency-based learning, teaching, and the health education classroom will be addressed. Coursework will allow students the opportunity to explore a broad perspective on sexuality education, including what research indicates is effective, adolescent brain development, cross-cultural sexual expression and behavior, attitudes and social norms, barriers to change, and communication skills all within the context of positive, healthy sexuality.
This course will be asynchronous with one virtual synchronous class meeting.
Start/End Dates: June 23 – August 3, 2025
