Friday to Sunday
August 14–16, 2009
Urbandale, Iowa
This training is for adults who want to teach the Our Whole Lives (OWL) sexuality curriculum in their congregations or community setting. This training will offer the workshop for the Middle School (Grades 7 to 9) and High School (Grades 10 to 12) Curriculum.
Curriculum Information
The Our Whole Lives Values
- Self Worth
- Sexual Health
- Responsibility
- Justice and Inclusivity
Our Whole Lives helps participants make informed and responsible decisions about their sexual health and behavior. It equips participants with accurate, age-appropriate information in six subject areas: human development, relationships, personal skills, sexual behavior, sexual health, and society/culture. Grounded in a holistic view of sexuality, Our Whole Lives provides not only facts about anatomy and human development, but helps participants to clarify their values, building interpersonal skills, and understand the spiritual, emotional, and social aspects of sexuality.
Sexuality and Our Faith, a series of companion resources for Our Whole Lives, provides a framework for incorporating specific faith-based teaching and practice into each session of the curriculum.
