How to Prepare Your Class
Prior to visiting your classroom, Superstar relies on schools to prepare by coordinating the following:
During and after our presentation, we hope you will:
We welcome any suggestions you have that may enhance the efficacy of our teaching. We look forward to working with you and meeting your students. Thank you again for inviting us into your classroom.
- Booklets or materials will need to be copied for each student. We will provide these materials at least two weeks before the presentation. If copies can’t be made by the school, we can make copies and charge the school for the materials.
- The school must inform parents that they will be having a health educator come and teach about human sexuality two weeks before the classes begin. Many schools send out a letter at the beginning of the school year, which covers the requirements for notification. It must be an informational letter, not an opt-in permission slip. Superstar will provide an example letter your school can customize.
- Outlines of Superstar programs must be available for parental review prior to the classes being taught. Superstar will provide schools with an office copy of the curriculum and materials to print out and have available for parents.
- Teachers organize class times for a one hour session with a 10 minute break-down and set-up time.
- Classroom set-up should including a white board or chalkboard, space for materials, and equipment to project images and show movies.
- All students should have a pencil.
- Have a blank piece of chart paper available so we can create ground rules for the class.
- Inform the students that there will be classes on sexual health and to take it seriously but that it will also be fun.
During and after our presentation, we hope you will:
- Provide support by listening to the lesson and discussion.
- Let the educator from SHE manage classroom dynamics as they see fit. Only jump in if asked.
- Provide constructive feedback after our presentation.
- Support and follow-up with students.
- Contact us with questions or for resources.
