F.L.A.S.H. Lesson Plans: Comprehensive sexuality education curriculum
The Family Life and Sexual Health curriculum (F.L.A.S.H.) is a comprehensive sexuality education curriculum. The curriculum has been adopted and widely used by school districts in King County, as well as throughout the United States and Canada, since it was first developed by Public Health - Seattle & King County between 1985 and 1992. The revision of key lessons began in 2002 to accurately reflect advances in medicine.
The FLASH curriculum is unique in several ways:
- Addresses such issues as physical development, promotion of sexual health, prevention of disease, affection, interpersonal relationships, body image, and gender roles.
- Spans the school-age years (grades 5-12 and secondary special education).
- Embraces an abstinence-based approach, as well as information related to the prevention of pregnancy, HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases.
- Rests on a foundation of positive and healthy sexuality across the life span.
- Focuses on the needs of public schools and diverse communities.
- Ensures discussion about the wide spectrum of beliefs on sensitive issues.
- Values family involvement.
