West Virginia

West Virginia (WV) Free, a WISE partner since 2012, is assisting schools in implementing West Virginia's Next Generation Health Education Content Standards and Objectives in grades 5-12 as well as Wellness Standards in PreK-4.  A key to their approach has been partnering with a wide range of organizations, including state departments of education, community-based organizations, institutions of higher education, and many others.  This has increased the visibility of their work among school districts and allowed WV Free to identify and successfully work with ready school districts to implement sex education.
