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

It means that we want everyone to be involved in a child's sexuality education and taking care of their wellbeing. Our whole school approach builds not only on building on teacher comfort and confidence, but also on parent involvement and acceptability.

 

How do we do this

  • A online parent education platform is provided as well a live parent presentation, where they can directly ask Vanessa questions & learn how to support their children in what they are learning
  • PLUS free written resources are included for teachers and parents

 

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!

You Aren’t Looking For A Quick Fix Solution That Will Work just for 1 Year...

You Want a Model Of Sexuality Education That is Sustainable for Years To Come!

Just hear how Talking The Talk's Virtual Classroom went in schools in 2020 and 2021:

"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..."

Read some more stories of how Virtual Classroom was integrated into classrooms across Victoria 

"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..."

You get to Take Control of Delivering Human Sexuality, Respectful Relationships and Consent Education Yearly That is Affordable and sustainable!

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...

 

THERE ARE SO MANY BARRIERS IN PROVIDING SEXUALITY, RESPECTFUL RELATIONSHIPS AND CONSENT EDUCATION IN SCHOOLS!

 

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? 

And Because We Are Committed to Ensuring Every Student In A School Has Access to Human Sexuality, Consent & Respectful Relationships Education, We Have Created These Additional Bonuses For Your School:

When You Sign Your School Up, You’ll Get

5 ADDITIONAL BONUSES

For the Duration of Your Yearly Subscription ALL FOR FREE!

INCLUDING...

BONUS #1

Consent Content

This would usually cost a school $355 per class for Vanessa to come in and deliver these sessions. 

BONUS #2

Year 10, 11 & 12
Respectful Relationships Lessons

 

To have a provider come in and deliver these lessons, it would cost $355 per lesson per class e.g. one year 7 class would cost over $1,000 for their 3 Consent and Respectful Relationships lessons to be delivered! Think of how much it would cost for the whole secondary school!

BONUS #3
