Here, students are introduced to our curriculum, Teen Talk. We explain what students will learn about over the course of the program, ending the lesson with a Pre-Test to gauge their knowledge of sexual and reproductive health prior to completing the course. 

As an introductory unit and to build students' reproductive health knowledge, we officially begin the program by breaking down male and female sexual and reproductive anatomy. 

In this lesson, students could participate in the below activity, where they are given blank internal and external anatomy sheets, and are asked to fill out the organ that each dashed line is supposed to represent

In lesson 3, we dive into what it is like to be nonbinary, cisgender, and transgender, as well as the different types of attractions. Building on Lesson 2, students learn that sometimes there are mismatches between someone's anatomy and their gender, and that is OK! 

In this lesson, students learn what happens when people connect sexually, or after puberty. Lesson 4 teaches students what happens when these reproductive systems work together, touching on pregnancy and conception.  

As the guiding topic and main advice section of the curriculum, students learn about all of the birth control forms, and how to correctly administer them. Students are left feeling confident and in control of their reproductive health, which is the goal of our program. 

Here, students learn all of their pregnancy options, including both carrying and terminating the pregnancy. We teach students everything they need to know if they become pregnant, so they can make the decision that is right for them. One of our pregnancy options activities is seen below:

In this lesson, students learn about what can happen (aside from pregnancy) when one has unprotected sex. We detail each and every Sexually-Transmitted Infection (STI), explaining the symptoms, signs, and treatments for each one. We also provide students special resources in this lesson if they believe they have an STI or want to protect themselves from getting one. 

One of the the most important lessons we teach, this lesson signals a shift in our curriculum from the biological aspects of sexual education to the mental and socioemotional. Here, students can expect to learn about healthy and unhealthy relationships, and the types of relationships there can be. 

Once students learn about relationships, we can now tackle how they feel about their bodies, and give them skills to feel better about their bodies. Students learn about what a healthy body image looks and feels like. 

This lesson discusses consent and sexual violence, providing students with resources, tools, and skills to navigate situations where consent and sexual violence occur. Here, we show that sex isn't just important in a biological content, but that it can be very emotional. Here, we provide students support and education to be able to navigate these situations well. 

Students can now tackle what happens when another person broaches sex with them, and what happens when they don't want to have sex (or do). Our educators not only give them strategies to refuse and reject sex, but also lead important activities and present case studies so students can know what effective and successful refusal and rejection situations look like, as seen in the below activity: 

To end our curriculum, students wrap up their learning and can see what they have learned. Students take a practice test and reflect on what they have learned from us, where we hope students, teachers, and faculty can walk away from this curriculum learning something of value and feel more confident in their ability to utilize their newfound knowledge.
