Inclusive Puberty Education
Historically, puberty education has been taught by separating students into different classrooms based on perceived gender. However, teaching all students about puberty at the same time is now considered a best practice in creating more inclusive and impactful sexual health education. In this training, we discuss the positive impacts of gender inclusive puberty education, strategies for climate setting in the classroom, and principles of gender-inclusive puberty education.
