Sinopsis

The purpose of the curriculum is to teach (whether teaching live or using digital format) that the human person exists as a multidimensional being and that oneâÇÖs sexuality is integrated in all the dimensions. As human beings, we have the capacity to reason, make choices, seek what is true, and to ask questions of ultimate significance. The lessons in the curriculum stress that oneâÇÖs sexual health depends on the choice to save sex for marriage or one monogamous bond and by making healthy choices in relationships, love, and responsibility. These choices affect the whole personâÇÖs present and future well-being and the heritage passed on to future generations.According to the Arkansas State Health profile (at time of print) (insert applicable state/countryâÇÖs STD stats) http://www.cdc.gov/nchhstp/stateprofiles/pdf/arkansas_profile.pdf, Arkansas ranks eighth for Chlamydia and sixth for Gonorrheal infections in the United States.1 Since sex involves oneâÇÖs sexuality, is more than an isolated act, is more than a bodily function, is not just a commodity to buy or sell, and since contraceptives do not always provide protection against STDs, sexual health education must appeal to the dispositions of the mind, heart, will, and conscience of the learner. Young people can be reached through their hearts and challenged to become persons of character, capable of contributing not only to their own well-being but also to their communities and society. The Whole Person Learning Theory by Onalee McGraw, Ph.D., founder of the Educational Guidance Institute, Inc. and author of Teaching the Whole Person about Love, Sex, and Marriage Educating for Character in the Common World of our Homes, Schools, and Communities, explains the philosophical and psychological concepts of the whole person approach to learning: the philosophy that oneâÇÖs sexuality is an integral part of the whole person. 'As whole persons, men and women possess a sexuality that is integrated in body, mind, heart, will, and conscience. The sexual domain is permeated by the intellectual, moral, emotional, physical, and social domains. The psychological guiding principle is that cognitive powers of memory, thought, judgment, imagination, and learning related to sexuality permeate the body, mind, heart, will, and conscience, thinking, feeling, and acting in the sexual domain reflect the whole person.'2 The premise of the whole person learning theory is foundational for Concepts of Sexual Health Sex & You! The resources included in Concepts of Sexual Health Sex & You! (modified for Jr. High) are based on medical facts, statistics from the Center for Disease Control & Prevention/cdc.gov, and are developmentally appropriate for 6-8 grades. The curriculum also meets ArkansasâÇÖ 6th, 7th and 8th Grade Health & Wellness content standards.
