The Foundations of Sexuality Education

Sexuality education involves all stakeholders in schools. On a daily basis, adults interact with students, develop relationships with some of them and watch over them. Basing itself on the psychosexual development of young people, the Ministère de l’Éducation du Québec made sexuality education prescribed content in Québec elementary and secondary schools. This course is designed to provide an overall view of sexuality education, the values conveyed, the content prescribed for elementary and secondary schools and a few basic principles on comfort. It is intended for all members of school staff who are looking for general information about sexuality education. At the end of the course, you will: be aware of your perceptions about sexuality education and your comfort level;be able to impart an overall, positive view of sexuality education;  understand the content progression based on the psychosexual development of young people.
