Module Indicative Content
The content can be divided into two areas, knowledge and skills.
The knowledge sections of this module include stages of group development (Schutz and Tuckman) - participants will discuss group development and relate it to past and current experiences. Dimensions of Sex and Relationships Education are included - group will explore issues and complexity of sexuality work and policy requirements. The module looks at child sexual development and key stages - participants will learn about age-appropriate materials. Legal and Policy Frameworks are assessed - participants will explore the laws and government guidance which regulate their work, including anti-discriminatory behaviour.
The skills elements of this module include the use of a Learning Styles Inventory - participants will have the opportunity to assess their own learning style and reflect upon its impact on their work. The module addresses use of appropriate resources - participants will become familiar with relevant resources and learn how to adapt and use them for particular age groups. The module focuses on design, development and delivery of sessions- participants will be given a framework for session development and will be supported to prepare and deliver a session. Learner will experience the delivery and facilitation of session - participants will learn how to establish an environment conducive to learning, how to facilitate group interaction and how to give and receive feedback.

Module Learning Strategies
This course is essentially experiential in nature. Participants will receive some theoretical background that will be put into practice.
The major learning will come from the participant applying their work in a real setting and reflecting on its outcome. They will also receive feedback from experienced tutors and their peers.
During the first three days of the course, participants will experience a variety of learning activities including
- presentation of theoretical frameworks and models
- self assessment tools
- group reflection exercises
- delivery of sex and relationships education group exercises
- giving and receiving feedback
For their workplace assignment, participants will be expected to design, develop, deliver and evaluate a Sex and Relationships session targeted at a specific key stage of learning.
Participants are expected to work independently to examine the social and political context of sex and relationships education in their locality.
During the assessment day, each participant will present on their workplace assignment, review the results of their evaluations and get feedback from tutors and peers.
The fourth day is a Study skills workshop to receive support on writing of reflective paper
