Dearest colleagues,
On this Transgender Day of Visibility, we are delighted to share the next four parts of the Oregon Teacher Training Institute (OTTI) virtual teacher training series on K-5 Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE). These were developed in collaboration with DHS, OHA, and local partners across Oregon.
While this training is designed to develop skills for teaching sexuality education with a K-5 focus, the foundational activities included are highly relevant to CSE teachers of all grade bands. The second two modules focus on strategies for affirming LGBTQ2SIA+ students and creating inclusive classrooms through Health and Sexuality Education.
Please see below for details and registration info. We hope to see you there!
The Oregon Teacher Training Institute (OTTI) offers courses for educators and administrators to deliver comprehensive sexuality education as part of health instruction, focusing on healthy relationships, socio-emotional learning, child abuse prevention education, and healthy sexuality throughout the lifespan. These requirements, as articulated by Oregon Department of Education's rules and standards, follow the most current research, leading national medical institutions, and Oregon Law. The training courses are implemented in partnership with ODE, OHA, DHS, and other local partners.
Registration is now open for the Spring 2021
