The 87th Legislative Session was gaveled in on January 12. In the midst of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, many unknowns remain about the coming session. What IS certain is that we will continue to advocate for adolescent reproductive health, as we did throughout 2020 with the adoption of new sex education minimum curriculum standards at the State Board of Education. During this webinar, we will provide an overview of new health education TEKS, including the advocacy work that supported their adoption; share the policy priorities of the Texas Campaign for the upcoming legislative session; and outline ways that you can effectively advocate for Texas youth.

Presenters: Jen Biundo & Molly Clayton, Texas Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy

In this program you will learn about digital literacy and ethics, inappropriate content, cyberbullying, online sexual solicitation, online privacy, sexting and sextortion, and will receive tips on how to share your professional experiences with children in age-appropriate ways. You will also learn about trends in cyber activity during the COVID pandemic and how to report suspected cybercrimes to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. We’ll show you how to teach children to avoid online risks and be better digital citizens using NetSmartz resources for grades K-12.
