Choosing the Best WAY grabs the attention of 6th graders who are struggling to understand what's happening to their bodies and their relationships with lively sessions that answer questions they hesitate to ask. Entertaining video clips introduce each session, as students separate myths and facts and learn that abstinence until marriage is the bestWAY.

Lesson topics include:

• Caution: Entering Adolescence
• The Human Reproduction Zone
• Beware: STDs and HIV/AIDS Ahead
• Stop: Teen Pregnancy and Its Consequences
• In the Race: Deciding on the Person to Be
• Critical Components: Healthy Relationships
• Safety Precaution: Learning How to Say No
• Taking the Lead: Standing Up For Yourself

Here's why Choosing the "Best" materials work:

• By focusing on PROVEN LEARNING AREAS that increase abstinence behavior: Understanding the emotional and physical risks for sexually active teens, seeing the benefits of abstinence until marriage, learning how to have healthy relationships, developing assertiveness skills, and integrating with character education.
• Through an INDUCTIVE LEARNING MODEL that engages the student with video vignettes of real teens, in-depth discussions, action-oriented classroom exercises and role-plays.
• By actively INVOLVING PARENTS OR GUARDIANS through at-home interviews and parent education material.
