Comprehensive Sexuality Education
Adapted from TARSHI’s publication, ‘The Orange Book’ that was developed in 2010, this online course is specifically for teachers and educationists and aims to fill the gap created by the lack of teacher training on Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE). When working with teachers and educators, we are aware that they often find it difficult to become sexuality educators given that they have limited scope to explore their own doubts and feelings about Gender, sex, sexuality, and get few opportunities to learn how to address these issues in a matter-of-fact manner. This eLearning course seeks to equip professionals with skills to engage with sexual and reproductive health issues within a school setting, with confidence and ease.
The course covers various concepts such as CSE, sexuality, gender, and topics related to body image, technology and its influence on young people, harassment of teachers and students, to name a few. It also provides a space for self-reflection and values clarification. Each chapter has exercises that cover basic concepts along with more complex issues and require participants to reflect upon related issues from their workplace and professional experience.
What are the objectives of the course?
- To understand Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE) as being more than ‘sex-ed’ and to reflect on the need for Comprehensive Sexuality Education.
- To fill the gap created by the lack of teacher training on CSE and equip young professionals with skills to engage with sexual and reproductive health issues within a school setting.
- To help teachers and educators gain comfort and confidence around addressing sexuality related topics in the classroom.
- To provide information and ideas for teachers and educators for introduction of sexuality related topics in day-to-day work.
- To provide concrete examples, case studies and scenarios to facilitate discussion on serious and relevant issues within the classroom.
