While arguments for and against teaching abstinence, the use of contraceptives, and sexual identity are becoming more and more polarized, most people agree that students must learn to navigate an increasingly sexual world. Sex Ed for Caring Schools presents a curriculum that goes beyond the typical health education most students receive today. As part of a critical pedagogy movement that connects education to social justice enterprises, this book and the corresponding online curriculum encourage students to talk, write, and think about the moral and relational issues underlying sex in society today. Addressing the real concerns of today’s teens, this book includes lessons on pornography, prostitution, media objectification, religion, and stereotypes.

Book Features:

  • Introduces readers to the controversies that have surrounded sex education curricula in recent decades.
  • Outlines a comprehensive sex education that includes character education, citizenship, and caring—the three Cs.
  • Focuses on the education both girls and boys need to treat each other ethically.
  • Includes discussion questions and activities for future educators.
  • Corresponds to an interactive online curriculum hosted by the author that includes free readings, activities, and discussion questions.

“Lamb is an expert in adolescent development, gender, and sexuality. In Sex Ed for Caring Schools, she spells out the larger social and political issues that students need to understand to be sexually literate, and how that will also enrich their personal sexual ethics.”
—Lawrence Blum, Distinguished Professor of Liberal Arts and Education, University of Massachusetts, Boston

“Dr. Lamb’s vision for sex education as framed in ethical discussion is a more substantial and democratic model than what exists now.  Sex Ed for Caring Schools is uniquely important and encourages thought and exploration.”
Bill Taverner, Executive Director, The Center for Family Life Education
