Beyond the Basics offers the tools to teach young people about sexuality and sexual health from a sex positive, human rights perspective. Covering topics that range from anatomy to consent and healthy relationships, Beyond the Basics approaches sexuality education across all gender identities and sexual orientations with activities that help move students from receiving information to making decisions based on critical thinking skills and empowerment. Recognizing the time pressures educators face, Beyond the Basics is written to easily move in and out of chapters, modules, and activities that suit the particular age, maturity, and trust in each classroom. About the Publisher: Action Canada for Sexual Health and Rights is a progressive, pro-choice charitable organization committed to advancing and upholding sexual and reproductive health and rights in Canada and globally. A key part of Action Canada’s work is advocating for the highest quality of comprehensive sexuality education, regardless of where you live. TESTIMONIALS “Beyond the Basics is an important, well-rounded, accurate educational resource that takes into consideration all aspects of healthy sexuality and safer sex for every adolescent. It contains information verified by experts and includes practical activities to engage groups of students. This resource goes above and beyond current North American sex-ed curricula in breadth and depth, which is necessary and important.” û Dr. Julie G. Thorne, MD, MPH, FRCSC “Beyond the Basics is a wonderful supplement to any curriculum across the country! The layout is clear with good flow, the language used is easy to understand, and each area of this book can be adapted for any grade level. Any teacher who is uncomfortable with the idea of teaching these subjects needs this resource!” û Jennifer Henry, Elementary School Teacher (Halifax, NS and Vancouver, BC) “Beyond the Basics provides educators with a current and accessible blueprint for approaching sexual health topics with young people. It truly goes beyond the ‘birds-and-bees’ approach to tackle topics such as gender identity, consent, and body positivity, giving teachers like me the tools they need to address such topics with sensitivity and safety. It’s a fantastic resource to support the teaching of an important (and so-often ignored) area of the curriculum.” û Kim Snider, High School Gender Studies Teacher (Toronto, ON).
