Sex Ed Open Learning

The Sex Ed Open Learning (SEOL) Project strives to advance standards-based health and sexuality education throughout the State of Oregon and to ensure that high-quality lessons are available to all educators through accessible and openly licensed materials.

Through collaboration with numerous school districts, non-profit organizations, and educators, the Sex Ed Open Learning Project consists of a collection of nearly 40 openly licensed sexuality education lesson plans. Organizations from across the state of Oregon developed these lessons provided in conjunction with local youth voice and community input. The lessons were reviewed by other sexuality education experts, including the Oregon Department of Education. 

These lesson plans span from kindergarten to twelfth grade and touch on topics ranging from anatomy, consent, reproduction, and health care access. All lessons are aligned with Oregon Health Education Standards and the Human Sexuality Education Rule, OAR 581-22-2050.  All the lessons included in this collection are comprehensive, age-appropriate, inclusive, and present sexuality as a positive (not fear- or shame-based) and natural part of human development. These lessons are optional and accessible to any district or school, free of cost. For more  information and to get started navigating the collection, please see the Sex Ed Open Learning User Guide.

This lesson seeks to engage in discussions about relationships, emotional, and physical relatedness, and whether biological connections are the only connections that make a family. Understanding how society has traditionally defined family may not be the way we define it – and that’s okay. In this lesson, participants will expand their knowledge of a more involved family tree. When it comes to describing family/kinship, does a biological connection hold more weight, or do emotional connections that develop over time hold equal importance? Understanding relationships, values, and what resonates as important is helpful in practicing and engaging critical thinking skills.
