Implement Sex Education

The purpose of this phase is to prepare for, and actually deliver, a sex education program!

There are also the practical, logistical challenges of coordinating staffing, scheduling instruction, and allocating sufficient time for professional development.  Check out the Implementation Planning Worksheet, which can help you think through who will be delivering sex education and when.
