Introduction to Educating Safer Intercourse: Abridged Model by Invoice Taverner, Govt Director of the CSE

Greater than 30 years in the past, Peggy Brick wrote the primary version of Educating Safer Intercourse with Catherine Charlton, Hilary Kunins, and Steve Brown. In a world that was nonetheless starting to grasp HIV and AIDS, with a lot of the training targeted on epidemiology of the illness and the operate of T-cells, Brick et al acknowledged the necessity for lesson plans that addressed the attitudes, expertise and behaviors wanted to guard one’s sexual well being. The authors acknowledged that epidemiological data was incidental, and even pointless, for people wanting to stop sexually transmitted infections. The lesson plans used interactive methods to enhance consolation with sexual language, to counter detrimental attitudes about condoms and condom customers, and to create a brand new body with which safer intercourse was portrayed in a optimistic, accountable manner.

Peggy employed me in 1998 whereas she was ending the expanded second version, The NEW Educating Safer Intercourse. That was the primary writing challenge Peggy and I labored on collectively. Although I added little or no content material to the ultimate draft of that version, I discovered lots that summer time about the way to make studying enjoyable, interactive, and significant. Once I served as lead editor for the third version in 2012, Peggy wrote an enthusiastic and congratulatory introduction, which served as a guided tour to the 50 lesson plans in two volumes. Privately, Peggy admonished me that there have been too many classes! So I feel she can be very proud of this abridged version!

Peggy died on December 24, 2018. She is remembered as an internationally revered sexuality educator who was admired by her colleagues. Educating Safer Intercourse – On the Go! retains Peggy’s imaginative and prescient, in addition to philosophical and pedagogical traits of prior editions. The lesson plans are extremely interactive, contain frequent dialogue and deal with the data, attitudes, and conduct wanted to achieve success in taking duty for one’s sexual well being. As I chosen and edited the lesson plans for this version, Peggy’s voice was ceaselessly in my head. “Preserve the 4 corners exercise!” “You may minimize that assertion.” “That’s manner an excessive amount of data!” “Why not mix the teachings?” I don’t know that I all the time made the choice that Peggy might need made, nevertheless it did make me miss the rigorous debates we’d have that will assist me suppose higher.

The contributing authors to Educating Safer Intercourse – On the Go! are terrifically proficient and it was an honor to include their inventive concepts into this version, which incorporates 10 fastidiously chosen and up to date lesson plans utilizing quite a lot of pedagogical strategies true/false handouts, paired, small, and enormous group dialogue, kinesthetic actions, position play, video games, impartial analysis, and extra, as contributors discover a spectrum of issues associated to sexual well being, and develop the data, attitudes, and expertise to make safer selections.

Many because of LifeStyles condoms for supporting this challenge and getting these lesson plans into the arms of sexuality educators.
