LGBTQ Inclusive Sex Ed Instruction

August 24, 2022 | 9:00am - 1:00pm

Foundations: Core Skills Training for Sex Ed, is a national model for training teachers to implement high-quality sex education. It aims to ensure that all sex educators are equipped with the skills needed to effectively facilitate student learning, create safe and inclusive environments and provide opportunities for meaningful skill-building and values exploration, regardless of the specific curriculum they teach. It consists of one full day training covering climate setting, sex education policies, facilitation skills, values clarification, managing personal disclosure and answering difficult questions.

LGBTQ Inclusive Sex Ed Instruction

LGBTQ-identified youth experience health disparities at a much higher rate that heterosexual-identified youth. Using facilitation techniques that are inclusive of these youth is essential to helping them feel included in sexual health conversations. The purpose is to provide an opportunity for educators to build skills for creating safe and inclusive learning environments for students who identify at LGBTQ.
