Class experience
Class Experience This 5-Week Sex Education class will cover the key topics for teens about their sexual identity and health, in a learning environment that is inclusive and welcoming. This class can either supplement your school's Health & Sex Ed Class or work as a stand-alone component of an independent Sex Education. The topics covered in this course are selected to provide all learners with important, sometimes even lifesaving information about their bodies, minds, hearts and...

I am an experienced health and sex educator in a major US city. I have had a love for health education since I was a teenager, participating in high school and college opportunities to learn and lead around sex education. I went on to pursue a Masters in Community Health Education. I both teach high school health education in the public school classroom and lead citywide health and sex education - advising on policy, creating lesson plans, creating course sequencing, lead professional development workshops and supporting health educators. Health and sex education is my career and passion. To maintain my knowledge and skills as an educator, I regularly attend or present at professional conferences, join professional workshops and stay current on the latest literature. In the community, I offer parent workshops and localized classes for young people. I am also a parent of a 5 year old. Raising him to be a sexually healthy adult and supporting his needs is one of my newer, and much loved, jobs.

In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
Parents, guardians and family members, You are your child's most important health educators. To reinforce this, throughout these classes, I regularly direct young people back to their families and cultures to find answers to values-based questions that only you and they can determine (How old should I be before I have a serious relationship? What is the right age to first have sex?). Research shows that your teens, despite how they may appear when you talk, are hungry to know what you think and believe around topics related to relationships, dating and sexual behavior. It is my intention to help offer families more opportunities to have these discussions through the learnings in this class. In addition, should this class not turn out to be a good fit, note that I have selected Outschool's Flexible Refund policy. While I hope we can discuss and address any issues that might arise from you or your learner, ultimately it is important to me that you can withdraw at any point during the class, with a pro-rated refund. This has to feel right - it is modeling good consent* ;) *Not so sure what I mean by consent? - brush up with this fun 2:49 video Tea & Consent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGoWLWS4-kU
