And what could be better than simple, ongoing access to lessons that are created for you, and you can choose whenever and wherever you want to provide them?

WHAT DO WE MEAN WHEN WE SAY VIRTUAL CLASSROOM HAS A WHOLE SCHOOL APPROACH TO EDUCATION?

After 2 years of COVID lockdowns, we know that everyone could use some support in teaching this content. Schools need certainty. This accurate, comprehensive, age appropriate content can be delivered regardless of COVID restrictions of visitors to school so students will never miss out again!

Take a look at the lesson content

On Vanessa's Training & Resources:

Secondary Teachers, Nov 2021

"It was awesome, so informative and the resources were great!"

"Fantastic information. Wonderfully presented. Great tips and practical advice."

Primary Teachers, Nov 2021

"Thanks for building my confidence with this area. Resources are great."

"As someone who has taught RR and many of the ideas (consent, inclusive lang, sexuality ed) for a few years, it was great to hear update to date discussions and current resources."

When asked what was the most useful part of Vanessa's Teacher Training: 

Secondary Teachers, Nov 2021

"EVERYTHING"

"All of the different resources, the practical examples of language and protective statements."

"The practical tools - e.g. phrases, shift in languages"

"Reflecting on how language adjustments can embed healthy notions of consent and respectful relationships"

"To be honest, everything was useful"

"All of it"

"It was like you had come into the classroom to teach us"

Year 7 Teacher, Oct 2021

"...I just got off my first year 7 SRH class and it was great. I personally found the prep material for teachers highly effective...I enjoyed it and felt very confident in my use of language due to the resources you'd provided and that was most important for me..."

Year 3&4 Teachers, Nov 2020

 "...Overall, we feel that you've put together a very professional, useful and extremely valuable package..."

Primary School Assistant Principal 22/10/2020

"...It’s so great that families are asking when the students are having their Sexuality education sessions - after they attend your parent session they value the fact that we are all working together for the child’s wellbeing...We have some teachers who are very excited to have the opportunity to deliver the content..."

"FOCUS ON CAPACITY BUILDING"

Primary School Principal 22/10/2020

"...This model provides excellent partnership with families, there is a clear sense that there is a family role and teacher role and we are working together...

The Virtual Classroom fits with our philosophy of embedding real life across the curriculum, the focus on capacity building for our teachers, crosses other areas of our curriculum, it also aligns with the respectful relationships curriculum and the way we view things at our school...

I loved the Teacher Training Module 'This is not about you' (Facts v Values), that really helps with teacher confidence...

Excellent that parents have access to ongoing resources if they can't make it to the live (via zoom)  presentation."

“Helpful and informative” Teacher training modules

Primary School Teacher 27th Oct 2020

"...I completed the Sexuality Ed PD last week (and the modules just now) and I just wanted to reach out and let you know how helpful and informative I found them. I really appreciate how you were able to simplify a topic which I have at times found a bit overwhelming or felt unsure of where to begin. The resources are so straightforward and supportive so thank you..."

As we come from a capacity building mindset, we want to train and support teachers to teach this content in their schools whenever they want.

So how we do this in Virtual Classroom is by providing resources that are split into 4 important categories: 

1. Teacher Training Modules
   • There are 10 short modules to complete - 66 minutes in total
2. Getting Ready To Teach The Content
   • Includes a workbook to help you during your training and during lessons
3. Delivering The Content
4. Parent Communication

There are plenty of resources in this section that give you tips and tricks to navigating these topics and help set you and classroom up for these lessons!

To find out more about this service:

Providing comprehensive sexuality education can be hard.

79% of teachers say they have never had any training...

Not all staff members may feel comfortable or confident teaching this material, especially if they have never taught this content before or had some training in how it should be delivered.

Of course there are curriculum guides to help teachers figure out what is age appropriate but how are they to know what specific information is appropriate at what age? 

How are they to know how to answer difficult questions that come up in the lessons or months down the line? 

Teachers already have so much on their plate. 

And if you are like most schools, you don't want to have to be reliant on external providers for your students' sexuality education. 

The reality is:

Whether you teach the content yourself or you get in an external provider...

Whether it is the lack of teacher familiarity with the curriculum and content, reliance and high cost of external providers, the uncertainty of the right language to use, the need to cover so many different topics or uncertainty about parent support...

...you don't want this to prevent  your students from getting adequate human sexuality, consent  and respectful relationships  education, do you?

Of course not! 

So then why wouldn't you use something that encompasses ALL the things you are looking for: expert led content, lessons that are ready to go, something that is capacity building for teachers and an affordable and sustainable  price?
