Where can I find information about STDs that can be applied to students at a variety of grade levels?
It is important that students receive age-appropriate information pertaining to STDs and issues of sexual health. However, it is also important to remember that children mature differently. And while one eighth grader may be ready for a lesson in condom usage, another may not even be interested in dating. Providing comprehensive information in a non-threatening manner is integral to effective education. This way, students have the information they need and can use it on an as-needed basis. To ensure age appropriateness, review different lesson plans.
