sex education collaborative professional learning standards for sex education assessment tool

this tool is designed as a companion to the professional learning standards for sex education (plsse) to help identify needs for professional development and/or technical assistance among those who teach or will teach sex education.

the plsse is divided into four domains: context for sex education, professional disposition, best practices, and key content areas. each domain includes indicators related to educator’s knowledge of content, familiarity with teaching methods, and understanding of best practices. school administrators and educators can use the plsse to determine areas where teachers are most proficient and those in which additional professional development may be needed.

this assessment tool is designed to make that task even easier by asking educators to rate their own capability and comfort. the tool can be given to current educators to complete or could be used to develop questions for determining qualifications of future educators.
