CES Fall Forum 2016

We live in a world where messages about sex are ubiquitous, exploitative, and confusing, while education about sexuality is obtuse or non-existent. If we believe that young people should be central to their own learning, then we can not omit this piece of content that is so central to their lives. If we want our students to be able to have healthy relationships; safe, empowered sexual encounters; and to be good communicators, partners, and friends; we need to help them learn and think about how to do so. Using the 10th grade Power/Play curriculum created at The Crefeld School, participants will engage in embodied activities using themes of power, communication, and consent. We will discuss some of the challenges and skills needed to teach a progressive sexuality curriculum.
