The course consists of an explanation of the program on Basic Adolescent Sexual Education (B.A.S.E.) for Educators, patented by the IVAF.  The course offers basic and necessary information for use in teaching adolescents.  The course aims for the perfect assimilation of the content of the program, especially its technical aspects.  It guarantees educational centers that the graduates of this course are ideal teachers of sex education.

Suggested Methodology for the sex education course (Basic Adolescent Sexuality Education Program) at school thought by a graduate from the IVAF course: 

The program is designed as a one-year course, meeting three times a week.  In the first meeting, students and teachers take up the theoretical part of the lesson.  In the second meeting during the week the class is divided into small groups to prepare for the discussion of the issues raised in the discussion topics at the end of the book.  The third meeting is for the actual discussion and explanation of the issues.

The course can be organized according to the criteria suggested by the management team of the educational institution.  However, two things have to be taken into account:

1. The teacher necessarily has to be prepared and updated to teach it.  This is achieved by doing the entire B.A.S.E. FOR EDUCATORS course, independently of his/her previous knowledge and experience on the subject.  The program presents a new form of sex education with new content, and with a continuous reference to the methods of fertility awareness, which in recent times have incorporated new ideas

2.  The program should be given in its entirety.  The theoretical and discussion topics of the lessons are interdependent and complement each other.  Failure to give or refer to certain topics, due to lack of time or opportunity, is depriving the students of the formation which the program intends to give.

The teacher has to be updated on the content of the 21 theoretical topics and the 84 practical issues.  He/ she must be able to explain each of the theoretical topics with expertise, knowing and adapting to the students.   This requires the teacher to be up to date in these matters, and for that, the educational institution has to consider making an investment.  The teacher also has to have an attitude of study and continuing education which is indispensable for the effectiveness of the program.  He/she also has to be prepared to answer the questions which may arise and know how to proceed to the next topic.  He/she should also know how to keep his/her audience interest, making use of the didactic resources available to motivate the students.

To facilitate teaching, a list of objectives is set followed by the explanations, as well as the take-home message which the topic transmits.  The teacher has to have in mind both the topics and the message when he/she prepares the class and during its delivery.

There are ten True or False questions at the end of each topic, which the students have to answer with certainty.  Mastery of the previous topics helps in assimilating the content of the succeeding lessons.

The formation which this program tries to impart is urgent.  Hence, the IVAF highly recommends that the teaching institution implement it in the same year the professors do the entire B.A.S.E. FOR EDUCATORS course.
