This publication is designed to prepare teachers to discuss Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) and related topics with their students. It contains information regarding the background of AIDS and its history, suggested teaching strategies, and resources on which to draw and facilitate learning experiences. It is pointed out that AIDS education, to be effective, must be integrated into more comprehensive areas of study such as health, and should be taught in correlation with various areas of study. The guide provides outlines of programs designed for grades K-3, 4-6, 7-9, and 10-12. Each section describes the characteristics of the students, the content of the education program, competencies, key skills and teaching strategies, and further educational resources. (JD)
