Preventing Child Sexual Abuse: A
Parent's Guide
The Course of Study has been developed with the
understanding that classroom teachers encounter on a daily basis children
with individual learning styles and abilities. The individual units,
therefore, include a variety of classroom activities. Reliance is placed
upon the classroom teacher to select the particular activities that best
meet the children's skills, abilities, and comprehension levels. Classroom
teachers may also choose to use a lesson from a higher grade level if the
children's abilities warrant. Through individual accommodations, the Course
of Study provides a variety of materials and activities to instruct children
in the vulnerable pre-pubescent age group about child abuse and its
prevention. Depending upon the length of time allotted for each activity,
many activities may take more than one day to complete.
The Kindergarten through Grade 8 curriculum is
ideally taught from kindergarten through eighth grade with each graded year
as a reinforcement for the prior year. However, recognizing that some
children may be experiencing the curriculum for the first time in an upper
grade, each graded study is independent and self-standing. Teachers should
feel free to select or adapt lessons from any grade level to use in an
age-appropriate manner with their classes.
