Scottsdale, AZ (PRWEB) April 03, 2017
Edgenuity, a leading provider of online and blended learning, today announced it is offering California high school students innovative new courses including a state-required Contemporary Health course and a suite of electives that have earned a-g approval.
“California is offering their students online, up-to-date and relevant curriculum that can better prepare them for their futures,” said Sari Factor, CEO of Edgenuity. “As states like California make the decision to implement new curriculum, Edgenuity is there to meet them with relevant and engaging online and blended learning solutions.”
Contemporary Health
The Contemporary Health course aligns with California’s Health Youth Act and high school content standards. It prepares students to make informed and responsible decisions about drugs, mental health, relationships and sexuality. This includes negotiation and refusal skills and critical abilities to avoid high-risk activities and overcome peer pressure. The course also includes comprehensive sexual health education, including sensitive and medically accurate coverage of pregnancy, contraception and STIs.
Students learn the value of committed relationships and skills to ensure relationships are positive, healthy and free from violence or abuse. Topics such as sexual harassment, sexual assault, abuse, partner violence and sex trafficking are addressed. The course is carefully designed to be inclusive of different sexual orientations, genders and gender identities.
