The Curriculum Used In CBAE Project A.S.P.I.R.E.

CBAE Project A.S.P.I.R.E. uses the "Choosing the Best" curriculum. The Choosing the Best curriculum is a research-based, medical learning model that motivates students through relationship education, refusal-skill coaching character education, and parent-teen interviews. The program consists of five programs tailored for specific ages:

 

High School

 

Choosing the Best Journey (9th-10th Grades) Targeting lower high school students, this inspiring 8 lesson curriculum motivates students to set goals, make good decisions, develop healthy relationships, and choose abstinence.

Choosing the Best Soulmate (11th-12th Grades) In 5 lessons, older students learn valuable relational skills necessary for a successful marriage, including the importance of abstinence.

Middle School

Choosing the Best Way (6th Grade) Reinforced by posters and activities, these 6 lessons teach how to make decisions, assess relationships, and choose abstinence.

Choosing the Best Path (7th Grade) Challenging enough to keep middle-schoolers' attention, 8 lessons cover the myths of "safe" sex and the benefits of abstinence.

Choosing the Best Life (8th Grade) Empowering students to form healthy, positive relationships, 8 lessons dynamically reinforce abstinence through real-life teen stories and role-play. View sample video clip.

Decisions!

 The only 100% effective way to avoid having a baby is to not have sex. Abstinence is the most effective method of birth control and many teens choose this option. For some, this means not having sex until they're married.
