Learning pathway 4 of 8
Puberty & Menstruation
For educators who teach puberty and menstruation, this pathway builds the skills and knowledge to deliver these lessons accurately, inclusively and with confidence.
Why this pathway
Puberty and menstruation are often the first sex education topics young people meet, and the way they are taught shapes how students feel about their changing bodies. Many adults never had these lessons taught well themselves. This pathway starts with an instructor-led course where you practice teaching puberty and menstruation and get feedback from your peers. A resource deep dive follows, with fact sheets and a content knowledge assessment that help you confirm what you know and keep accurate information at hand for every lesson.
Goal
Deliver affirming, evidence-based instruction that reflects all students.
Who it is for
- Educators who teach puberty and menstruation
- Teachers refreshing their puberty lessons
- Educators making lessons on growing up more inclusive
Time
About 12 hours of live training over five sessions.
