Positive Choices is an innovative program designed to increase critical judgment about relationships and sexuality. It was piloted in the Greater Hartford area with guidance from an advisory board of self-advocates, parents, educators, clinicians, and administrators. Generous funding from the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving, Hartford, Connecticut, and The Special Hope Foundation of Palo Alto, California, made this project possible.
This comprehensive curriculum includes:
- 31 instructional units based on State Department of Education Comprehensive School Health Standards
- A wealth of best practice information, suggested extension activities and resources
- Teaching strategies that clearly present desired results, assessment evidence, and a learning plan that includes both content and process
- Over 220 scenarios for discussion, role-play and skill rehearsal
- A CD-ROM with anatomical illustrations to support sexual health units
- Differentiated chapter tests that assess knowledge and judgment
- Rubrics to assess skill development and generalization to daily life
- A fully illustrated student manual with supplementary assignments and opportunity for parental reinforcement of program concepts.
