Training Educators in HIV Prevention: An Inservice Manual

Abstract:
[ARCHIVED] This CDC-approved training manual provides a full range of activities for conducting an educator training on HIV and AIDS. The manual is based on educator trainings that were funded by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and ETR training specialists throughout the United States. The manual presents information to help educators: 1) learn the facts about HIV transmission; 2) understand the factors that contribute to adolescents' decisions about sexual behaviors and drug use; 3) know how to influence these factors through classroom activities, involving parents and school-wide initiatives; 4) gain skills in discussing sensitive issues; and 5) recognize barriers to effective HIV instruction, such as fear, anger, and denial. Activities include ideas for lectures, guest speakers, videos, discussions and other learning experiences that convey information, model various teaching techniques and influence educators' attitudes about AIDS and persons with AIDS. Appendices with CDC guidelines, etc., are included.
