Topic 7: Working with communities and churchesThis is crucial to successfully teaching about HIV/AIDS. Life skills and reproductivehealth education are new and important issues for communities, parents andteachers. You must communicate the content of the national HIV Policy and thecurriculum. Communities need to know what you are going to teach, why it isimportant and when you will be teaching it.7.1 Working well with your community…some strategies• Conduct training for your staff on the Syllabus, HIV/AIDS Policy,HIV/AIDS/STI Implementation Plan 2007-2012, HAMP Act and reproductivehealth content• Tell the community that HIV/AIDS is part of the School Learning ImprovementPlan• In-service the BOM and identify parents and community leaders who aresupportive and who will be advocates for your work• P&C meeting to share information and activities a long time before you teachyour HIV/AIDS or reproductive health unit of work• Accurate community awareness about HIV/AIDS, STIs and reproductivehealth by staff and students. Keep them updated with letters or a noticeboard.• Tell the parents about the HIV/AIDS Policy, HAMP Act and Syllabus. Let themsee copies and use the Guidance posters to help• Ask parents for ideas on how to improve lessons and the units of work –listen to their views and suggestions. You want them to feel ownershipof the school and the work.• Community or BOM observer in lessons• Ask community elders about language that can used and what is taboo.Explain you will teach students to respect this. Research local customs andtraditions about sex, puberty and reproduction.• Invite community members in to help with as many lessons as possible (e.g.local pastor can lead lessons on fighting stigma and Christian care, mothersand fathers can talk about pregnancy or how to keep a marriage healthy andfaithful, local police officer can talk about HAMP act, good youth role modelscan discuss how to avoid risky situations, community elders can talk aboutpuberty and initiation)• Team teaching and planning (a married or experienced teacher to helpyounger teachers or a teacher of the opposite sex to allow same sexteaching)• Same sex classes/teachers for challenging subjects like sexual intercourse• Invite NGOs, Government workers and approved church agency groups tosupport your work (i.e. by running awareness in the community)• Always teach these challenging subjects at the same time so parents getused to the routine• Put on a video show or night school so parents know what you will beteaching their children. Use World AIDS Day 1 st December as a special day atthe school.• Use the parents as teaching resources so they feel part of the learning (askstudents to interview them, carry out research at home and collect storiesfrom their families)A key factor in working with communities is planning ahead for any difficulties youmay encounter in teaching HIV/AIDS and reproductive health.52
