Currently, we serve Alexandria schools with a curriculum designed for grades five, seven and nine/ten. The Expect Respect curriculum is intended to provide information, support and guidance for school aged students. The objectives of the curriculum are to help students:
- Define terms associated with sexual harassment, sexual assault, domestic violence and teen pregnancy prevention
- Recognize destructive and unhealthy patterns of behavior in relationships
- Set goals and make choices that lead to safety awareness and risk reduction and that value the self and others
- Recognize the importance of clear communication, assertive behavior and self- respect for establishing and maintaining violence free, healthy relationships
- Understand the importance of delaying sexual intercourse and choosing behaviors that reduce the risk of teen pregnancy
For more information on the Expect Respect curriculum or to schedule a presentation, please contact Kim Hurley at 703.746.5030 or kim.hurley@alexandriava.gov.
