Tips for Delivering Human Development & Sexual Health Information to Students
General Tips for Teaching Sexual Health
- Acknowledge your own feelings about sexuality. Teaching about sexuality and relationships may cause embarrassment or anxiety for students and teachers. Simply acknowledging these feelings can help make them more manageable.
- Take some time to think in advance about your own personal boundaries.
- Create a positive and relaxed learning environment.
Birth Control
Birth control, also referred to as contraception, are ways for both sexual partners to prevent unplanned pregnancy. There are many kinds of birth control such as abstinence (e.g. holding off on sexual contact), hormonal methods (e.g. pills or other medications), and non-hormonal options (e.g. condoms).
Consent
When it comes to sexual activities and any intimate contact, everyone involved needs to give/receive enthusiastic consent.
Sexually Transmitted Infections
STBBIs are common infections that can pass from one person to another during sexual contact.
Healthy Relationships
Educating youth about healthy relationships is important to help them develop skills and knowledge to make healthier choices.
