Teaching AIDS - 3rd Edition

Abstract:
[ARCHIVED] Teaching AIDS contains seven teaching plans that present different approaches to teaching about AIDS in the classroom. Each plan includes basic information about AIDS and an additional subject like the public response to AIDS, civil rights issues, epidemics, STDs and AIDS, virology and epidemiology. Most of the plans can be taught in a single class period or expanded to fill two or three class periods. In addition, the teaching plans can be integrated into social studies, history, health, science, or general education courses. New sections in the third edition include: 1) New developments in AIDS/HIV symptoms, transmission, testing and treatment; 2) A preface discussing the evolving language of the AIDS epidemic; 3) Updated figures, statistics and projections; 4) New information on the changing patterns of high-risk behavior among teens; 5) Practical recommendations for future directions for more effective AIDS education and prevention among teens; 6) An extended glossary. The material includes ready-to-use worksheets.
