Workshop: F5 - Does Your School Board Need a Sex-Ed Revolution? Does Your School Board Need a Sex-Ed Revolution?

This workshop will take place on Tuesday, June 28th from 3:15pm to 4:30pm in Ballroom B.

Do you want to change your sex education school board policy?

Do you wonder if others have been successful in changing policy in communities that don’t address adolescent sexuality in schools? It can be done! Come learn our approach and leave with tools to make your campaign a reality. We may be focusing on sexual health education, but you can apply these techniques for any type of campaign!
We will share success stories and provide details of our approaches to get young people engaged at high levels of systems change. You will hear our lessons learned, so you don’t make similar mistakes in your campaign work. This is a brief examination of how organizations can collaboratively engage youth and adult partners to change local school board policy. Participants will be able to identify their stage within the phased in model developed by Illinois Caucus for Adolescent Health.
You will go through a short examination of where your organization can align with other established schools and community partners to do similar work within your own areas and identify your status within ICAH’s phased in model for school board policy change.

You will see that some of the principals are similar within rural, suburban, and urban school communities.

Then learn the steps needed to turn your policy into action by learning about the Implementation process and steps to consider for monitoring to ensure a sustainable program is meeting the changed policy!

Take a few minutes to watch our video!
