• Successfully Teaching Middle and High School Health: The North Carolina School Health Training Center has developed a training manual aligned with the Healthful Living Standards for Middle and High school. The Chatham County Public Health Department has a copy of the manual. To borrow the manual contact anna.stormzand@chathamcountync.gov.
• Reducing the Risk: The Reducing the Risk curriculum is a comprehensive, evidence-based curriculum. This curriculum takes an active approach to build students’ skills to prevent pregnancy, STDs, and HIV. Evidence-based curriculums have been proven to reduce teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Reducing the Risk has been proven effective in three national evaluations and has been named an Evidence-Based HIV Prevention Intervention by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In the spring of 2014, an evaluation of this curriculum was conducted at Northwood High School with 9th grade Healthful Living students. Results of the evaluation showed that students enjoyed the curriculum and gained valuable knowledge and skills. Click here to read the results in the Executive Summary.
• Rights, Responsibilities, and Respect: Developed by Advocates for Youth, the “Rights, Respect, Responsibility” curriculum provides lesson plans and materials for grades K-12 that meet the National Sexuality Education Standards and cover all 16 topics recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as essential components of sexual health education. Lessons are 50 minutes in Grades 6-12. There are family homework activities for most lessons in Grades K-9 to facilitate a way for students and their parents/care-givers to have important conversations together. Lessons can be used sequentially, or in parts, according to the needs of the educator. The search function on the website allows you to search lessons by grade level and topics. All materials are free and all materials can be downloaded from the Advocates for Youth website.
• **Supplementary High School Sexual and Reproductive Health Lesson Plans: The Chatham County Public Health Department has created two lesson plans for high school teachers to use to supplement their classes. These lesson plans can be used to fulfill the 9th grade Healthful Living standards, as well as provide reinforcing material for upper level allied health and science classes. These two lesson plans cover the following topics: sexually transmitted disease (STD) transmission, prevention, and treatment; proper condom use and demonstration; sexual behavior spectrum and risk reduction strategies; modern contraception methods (birth control); and local sexual and reproductive health resources for students. Please contact Anna Stormzand at anna.stormzand@chathamcountync.gov or (919) 545-8445 for the complete curriculum.
