This mission was carried out:
- In the development of simplified and laymanized FERTILITY AWARENESS modules
From puberty onwards, a man is able to get a woman pregnant each time he engages in sexual intercourse. The male contribution in the conception of a child is the sperm cell. Sperm production is signified by a boy’s first wet dream.
TEEN STAR
Sexuality Teaching in the context of Adult Responsibility is a value-oriented program for teens that combines experiential learning of fertility patterns with parental involvement and client-teacher confidentiality. Experiential learning challenges the teen woman or man to integrate their now-present biological capacity to become a parent into all aspects of their lives - - social, emotional, intellectual, spiritual.
his developmental curriculum contains unique features: 1) It is based on self-discovery of fertility and emotional patterns. 2) Individual counseling guides the students to examine the effect of their enhanced understanding of their sexuality and fertility on their self-concept, as well as on the consequences of any chosen behavior. 3) Teen STAR guides the students to seek and find answers which are capable of withstanding the test of adult life in a proper social setting.
Teachers need special preparation to offer the curriculum whose Behavioral and Affective Objectives, Procedures and course materials are described. Ongoing monitoring of the curriculum implementation and its effect on the students and parents, in collaboration with the Natural Family Planning Center of Washington, D.C., Inc. is an integral aspect of the program.
