6-8 Human Sexuality Curriculum

David Douglas supports teachers with approved curricula that are aligned to Oregon Health Education Standards.

District curricula for comprehensive sexuality education are designed to promote healthy, safe, violence-free communities for all people. This includes promoting concepts and fostering skills for healthy individuals and healthy relationships in age-appropriate ways.

Get Real Curriculum

The Get Real middle school curriculum consists of 27 sequential lessons taught across the middle school years—9 lessons each in Grades 6, 7 and 8. Get Real is designed to delay sex and increase correct and consistent use of protection methods when a person becomes sexually active.

The Get Real curriculum is based on state and national frameworks that emphasize social and emotional learning skills such as self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision making. If young people can negotiate relationships, they can better negotiate sexual relationships. These skills are integrated into the content of the lesson through activities and process questions.
