This video focuses on specific techniques for integrating AIDS education into elementary, junior high, and high school curricula. It emphasizes that while students’ most trusted source of information is their peers, education in the classroom can provide them with the analytical tools to properly judge the information they receive from their peers. The video encourages teachers to be well informed and knowledgeable about AIDS so that their students find them credible; and to be frank with their students about their own discomforts surrounding the subject.
Several activities and exercises are portrayed that can be used in the classroom. These include role-playing, condom demonstrations, and exercises to demonstrate how STDs spread through a group and to stimulate discussion about decision making. The importance of utilizing parents and community sources — including people with AIDS — in the classroom is also discussed. Whereas the first video in the “Saving A Generation” series emphasized the importance of integrating AIDS into the curricula, this video suggests specific techniques and strategies for doing so. These ideas are discussed by teachers who are using them in the classroom. The video will be relevant principally to primary and secondary teachers and school administrators, but other AIDS educators will also find the ideas presented here to be valuable for their work. The production quality is good. |
