Teaching sexual education includes addressing student’s physical, mental, emotional and social well-being in relation to their sexuality, and this is not an easy task. Let our facilitators assist in preparing you with outcome based classroom lesson plans, approaching the topic of gender identity, and addressing the many questions students may ask.

This workshop will also offer participants the option to take part in a session of the Catholic perspective toward sexual education in Catholic Schools.
