What We Teach
The No Regrets curriculum teaches REAL Essentials . It is designed for 7th grade, 8th grade and High School students, with each grade receiving seven-45 minute presentations or four-90 minute presentations, but can be altered for your particular needs.
This is an example of the content taught. As we relaunch No Regrets, specific actives and topics covered on a given day may change (all content is from REAL Essentials, a SRA and healthy relationship curriculum from the Center for Relationship Education). If you have questions about what is being taught at your school, please contact us.
7th Grade:
Defining healthy relationships, how to set boundaries, and decision making. Students will learn about the changes they will experience through puberty and how to navigate these changes. A brief discussion on Internet safety and social media standards.
