This is a groundbreaking way to teach sex ed! My students learned so much! I am so thankful that you have created a way to discuss important topics in an educational way. I wish all sex ed programs covered the topics that you do such as gender identity and consent! Great great great!

PSW has been a game-changer for me. It is interactive, informational, teacher friendly, student friendly and has saved me a ton of time over the past few years since introducing it in my health classroom. Thank you so much for creating such a valuable and useful tool for middle and high school health teachers!!!!!!!

WORTH EVERY PENNY! You truly have a gift at writing curriculum Janelle. I have been teaching for 20+ years and finally feel like I have the best curriculum out there that is not dependent on some cumbersome textbook and busy work assignments.

- Erica A.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I have been using PSW, since 9-20 and I LOVE IT. I have yet to have the same schedule or timing to teach health (quarters, semester, weekly, daily shared elective time) The deliberate built-in flexibility of the curriculum allows me to adjust the pacing and content for the amount of time I’m given. Brilliant design, current standards, and highly engaging content. Thank you!!

Saves me time and energy so I can use my resources to have a direct impact on students by saving a lot of time during the planning stage.

- Natalie H.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I am a second-year health teacher and your program has assured me that I have covered the standards and helped spark some of my own creativity in lesson planning. Health is a unique topic and is taught so much differently than it was when I was going to school. Your program gave me the skills-based approach that I was looking for in a health curriculum.
