Educators Professional Development Workshops
Empower your teaching staff with our research-backed professional development in sex & relationships ed. Avoid costly mistakes and inspire healthier, confident students today.
At You Won’t Learn This At School, we know that getting sex ed right is a matter of life-changing importance. When educators are unprepared or misinformed, students face the risk of receiving skewed, outdated, or even harmful information.
Inadequate sex ed can lead to serious consequences—from increased rates of teen pregnancy and STIs to a lack of understanding about consent and healthy relationships.
​
Our professional development workshops for teachers and education assistants are designed to bridge these critical gaps. We provide comprehensive, research-backed training that equips educators with the skills and confidence to deliver accurate, inclusive, and engaging sex education. With our expert guidance, educators learn how to navigate sensitive topics with clarity, cultural sensitivity, and a commitment to empowering every student.

Hard-Hitting Facts:
​
-
Striking Impact on Teen Pregnancy: Comprehensive sex ed delivered by well-trained professionals has been shown to reduce teen pregnancy rates by nearly 50% (Kirby, 2002).
-
Enhanced Student Engagement: A meta-analysis by Kirby, Laris, and Rolleri (2007) revealed that expert-led sex education programs improve student retention of key sexual health concepts by up to 30% compared to traditional, in-house approaches.
-
Reduced Misinformation: Research by Santelli et al. (2006) found that proper training for educators significantly decreases the risk of spreading misinformation, leading to improved overall sexual health outcomes among students.
​
These statistics underscore the profound difference that expert-led professional development can make. Our workshops don't just update your knowledge—they transform your approach, ensuring that you provide sex education that is both effective and empowering.
​
When educators are equipped with the right tools, they not only teach facts—they inspire healthy decision-making, confidence, and respect. Join us in redefining sex education for the next generation.
