Reshape the Conversation
You’re here because you want to help young people normalize deep, meaningful conversations about sex and sexuality. You want to remove the stigma associated with these topics and encourage them to be a part of everyday conversations.
Keep Talking
Learn to teach through that lens of social justice and racial equity concentrated in sexual health, gender, adolescent development, learning styles, and behavioral change. We’ve consulted with medical professionals, trainers, classroom teachers, youth serving professionals, public health workers, and researchers to create a course tailored for and dedicated to teachers like you. We’ll focus on the latest information and research in the fields of sexual health, gender, adolescent development, learning styles, and behavioral change. The more we talk, the more we mainstream these areas of everyday life.
Whoa, that’s a lot of talking
It is. Luckily we agree and have done something about it – we’ve broken the courses up into 25-30 minute bite-size pieces in a range of learning styles like interactive trainings, videos of classroom instruction, and real-life scenarios.
All By Myself?
Never. Self-guided doesn’t mean we leave you hanging, we want you to be a part of the conversation as much as you do. So, we’ve included handy self-assessments throughout each course to ensure you become a master of information.
