This publication has been designed to augment existing community programs and to initiate sound educational programs which will include the sexuality dimension in the total curriculum, kindergarten through grade 12. It is hoped that it will lend some clarity so such questions as should the schools teach sex education; and if so, what, by whom, how and when? Included in this booklet are: (1) a policy statement; (2) supportive statements; (3) rationale; (4) objectives; (5) program development; (6) orientation and inservice education of staff; (7) evaluation procedures and processes; (8) suggested curriculum guidelines, primary, intermediate, junior high and senior high; and (9) learning resources, primary, intermediate, junior high and senior high, and for the teacher. A glossary of terms concludes this guide. (JK)
