My colleagues are developing and testing an online training system to
increase effective use of a 16 lesson evidence-based adolescent
reproductive health curriculum.

They are  looking for 250 high school teachers (grades 8 - 12) throughout
the USA to teach Reducing the Risk: Building Skills to Prevent Pregnancy,
STD & HIV (RTR) in their classrooms. Participants must be able to teach
the RTR curriculum beginning in the Fall term of 2010.

* Participating educators will receive $450 plus $200 worth of
materials;

* Free materials include the teachers guide (curriculum), student
workbooks (in English and/or Spanish), posters, roleplay cards and
activity cards

I know that in many schools the science teachers are also responsible for
health, so I'm hoping my ITEST colleagues working with such teachers can
help get the word out, so please forward this to anyone you know who might
be interesting in participating in the project.

Interested parties can call the toll free number (877-316-7036), go to the
website and click on "sign up now" to fill out the online interest survey
