Teaching AIDS

By Douglas Tonks and Tonks Douglas

Book Overview

Teaching AIDS begins with a discussion of how teachers can create an environment of support for an AIDS education programme. Recognizing that AIDS education must differ for students of different age groups, the author presents tailored, age-appropriate content - what and how teachers should communicate AIDS information to young children, older children and teenage students.Teaching AIDS also addresses actual methods teachers can use to influence their students' attitudes and behaviour by helping them to recognize problem situations in which risks might arise, and presenting them with the actual skills they need to protect themselves in such situations.

As an educator of young men and women, I found this book to demystify much of the unknown about this difficult topic. Helpful. Thorough. Complete. A great book. Just what I needed!

The best guide I've read to prevent HIV/AIDS in young peopl

Douglas Tonks takes the educator through many necessary steps in order to achieve a classroom conducive to HIV/AIDS prevention discussions. As a teacher trainer and AIDS educator, I have found his text very useful and sensitive to the realities we face in the classroom. Please translate to Spanish!
