Sexuality Education & Parental Involvement

Read the journal articles from both links: Sexuality Education & Parental Involvement (These sources are attached). From personal observations, class discussion, assigned readings in the text, and assigned journal articles, reflect on the interaction among the parent, teacher, and child during the process of school-based sexuality education. Consider disparate values and needs that influence this process; discuss the influence of culture on this process; and develop rational, reasonable, and informed solutions for effective school-based sexuality education. At least five references to at least three different sources is required (ONLY USE THE SOURCES ATTACHED). The paper is limited to no fewer than three and no more than five pages single spaced. The Process of Reflection Reflection is a cognitive process that promotes self-awareness and encourages self-assessment. The cognitive process of reflecting on one’s authentic knowledge, practice, and beliefs/attitudes is important to developing professionalism. Reflection allows one to think critically about one’s ability to effectively join content knowledge with practice to reach diverse populations of learners. Self-reflection provides a means for practitioners to identify issues; state opinion, inferences, and predictions; and express feelings, beliefs, and attitudes. The practitioner’s responsibility in self-reflection is to support personal opinion, inference, and prediction by inclusion of relevant content knowledge presented in published works. By asking the following questions prior to writing self-reflection, one will more effectively integrate the inclusion of relevant content knowledge from published works: How has the published work either supported or changed your authentic knowledge, attitudes, and/or beliefs? Give specific examples from the published work. What trends are apparent in the published work and how do these trends either support or negate your inferences and/or predictions? Give specific examples from the published work. What new knowledge or new understanding of previous knowledge have you acquired from the published work that you perceive will influence your practice? Give specific examples from the published work. Where did you disagree with the author of the published work? What is your counter argument? Give specific examples from the published work.
