Join us as we launch the 2022 edition of Middle School Scope & Sequence for sexual health education. Based on feedback from middle school educators,  we know there is a wide variation in how and when sexual health topics are delivered in Maine schools. This Scope & Sequence is designed to meet the diverse needs of Maine educators. The curriculum is aligned with the state and national standards and includes lesson plans on the following topics: puberty & sexual adolescent development; gender identity and expression; sexual orientation and identity; healthy relationships; interpersonal violence; consent & communication and sexual health.

Whether you are starting with an empty slate, or come with your own tools of the trade, join us for this webinar of learning how to present factual, interesting, and much needed sexual health topics to youth in grades 6 – 8.

NEW features of the 2022 edition include:

• New activities on social media, technology use, consent, gender identity and more!
• Educator user guides for all topic areas.
• A guide to using AMAZE videos.

• Easy to use hyperlinked activities that connect directly to PDFs and slide decks for lessons.

As a result of the training, participants will:

• Identify the topic areas covered in the Middle School Scope & Sequence.
• Understand the format of the curriculum and how to choose and access lessons.
• Share materials and network with educators from around the state.

• Leave with a Middle School Scope and Sequence curriculum PDF that will prepare middle school youth to be sexually healthy teens.
