Title Sexual assault and dating violence curriculum
Creator Kay, Tyson
Subject Sexual assault; Education; Utah
Description The unusually high number of sexual assault and dating violence cases in Utah is appalling and so is the fact that we have such a passionate population on ensuring that our youth remain protected, yet remain steadfast in ensuring we do not discuss sex in a school setting. The majority of victims knew their attackers; herein lies the essential reasoning for action. I set forth by gathering information from the very group I wished to help on their knowledge of sexual assault, healthy relationships, and AIDS/STIs. The amount they knew proved to be very little and proved to be troublesome, but allowed for a structured program to arise in the form of a curriculum. The curriculum is based on two other curricula, each dealing with sexual assault and dating violence respectively, as well as resources from the Utah Coalition Against Sexual Assault, the non-profit organization which helped partner this curriculum. We now have the ability to present material in a very organized manner to students, to hand over a document for teachers to use as a tool to increase their effectiveness in the classroom, and overall help educate our students on such an important topic. My experiences with this project, the research involved, and the writing of the curriculum provided a way to increase my capability in the work I do for my community.
