Child Sexual Abuse Prevention Education: A Qualitative Study of Teachers' Experiences Implementing the "Second Step" Child Protection Unit
Allen, Kathleen P.; Livingston, Jennifer A.; Nickerson, Amanda B.
American Journal of Sexuality Education, v15 n2 p218-245 2020
This study explored teachers' reactions to implementing a Pre-K-Grade 5 school-based child sexual abuse prevention education program. Fifty-seven classroom teachers and two school counselors attended one of nine focus groups conducted after the implementation of the Committee for Children's "Second Step" Child Protection Unit. Teachers discussed their feelings about teaching the unit before and after implementation, their students' reactions to the lessons, and parental feedback. Initially, teachers were anxious and apprehensive about teaching the six-lesson curriculum but found the experience to be positive and rewarding. Students engaged enthusiastically with the lessons, and parental pushback was minimal. Challenges and recommendations for implementing teacher-led personal safety education are discussed.
