Frequently Asked Questions
Is the content age appropriate?
Yes. The curriculum is designed with age-appropriate content for each grade, researched and reviewed to be scientifically effective in promoting physical and mental wellness, healthy relationships, and equity for diverse students. Our workshops approved by the Ministry of Education and the Government of Ontario.
Why must my children take Health and Physical Education courses on human development and sexual health?
The inclusion of teachings on human development and sexual health is an integral part of the 2019 Ontario Health and Physical Education Curriculum.
This education promotes self-understanding and healthy choices, as children learn about themselves, including their bodies, relationships, and how to interact with the world. This curriculum supports healthy human development, enabling children to make safer and healthier choices throughout their lives.
By participating in these courses, students become part of an inclusive community within their school and the broader community.
What are some benefits of my children learning about these topics?
Professional Guidance: Students receive accurate information from trusted professionals.
Safe and Open Environment: A shame-free environment encourages students to ask questions and combats misinformation from inaccurate sources.
Informed Decision-Making: Education equips students to make fully informed choices for healthier lives.
Promoting Diversity and Combating Stereotypes: Understanding diversity fosters empathy, combats harmful stereotypes, and discrimination.
What language is used in SHORE's workshops?
All language used is anatomical/medical, scientific, age-appropriate, and accurate.
Foul language is strictly avoided.
Inclusive language is always prioritized, respecting individuals of all backgrounds and identities.
How will gender be discussed?
Gender is presented as a construct that is expressed in various ways by all people, including cisgender, trans, non-binary, gender non-conforming, and two spirit folks.
Learning about gender does not alter one’s identity, but instead fosters self-acceptance and and empathy for people of all genders.
Workshop Feedback
I liked how they listened to every single question really carefully. I learned about birth control, parts of the body and body acceptance.
[SHORE’s Educators] are phenomenal. They made my students feel comfortable with their easy- going, knowledgeable and kind natures. I would highly recommend their presentations to all educators in WRDSB.
