Many teachers are required to teach sexuality education in one capacity or another. Trends in sexuality change over the years and adults can often be left at a loss for understanding the needs of their students. This one day intensive workshop will explore new trends in sexuality and provide teachers with accurate information on some of the risks involved in adolescent sexuality as well as allow teachers to become more familiar with these issues and more comfortable presenting sex education materials to their students Participants will be given practical tools to teach this subject to grade levels 7-11, although discussion and exercises may be modified for elementary levels as well. Topics include; Anatomy, understanding adolescent sexual behaviors, current trends with teens, STI Information, birth control and condom information, how to answer difficult questions, and tools for teaching.
This training is offered in most Provinces.

"Thank you so much for the wonderful day. It was nice to sit back and listen to a very thoughtful and thorough presentation. I was very impressed by how you presented the information. Too often the message is value- laden one way or the other.
I thought your presentation was balanced and I will use some of the material this week in class"

"It was the most helpful professional development I have had this year. It was completely geared towards teaching. Often an inservice will give you
information and you have to decide how to relate it to the classroom. Your seminar was filled with tools I will use. I am looking forward to teaching the material!"

"I really enjoyed your workshop. There was lots to learn and take away. I particularly liked your speed. I like it when things move along and I think that
professionals, in their time-starved worlds, really appreciate attending a conference where facilitators understand that the time we have taken to attend is
valuable and we want to take something significant away with us"
