Educators are encouraged to modify lessons to fit the needs of their learners, their personal teaching styles and their community.

This information is readily available in the back of this guide. through sources list The attitudes and perceptions of AIDS and education about AIDS vary significantly among members of our society. The support materials for these lessons include a valuable, broad-based collection of information and articles about all aspects of AIDS. Recognizing the potent ii sensitivity that accompa- nies any information about AIDS, teachers are advised to review thoughtfully and consider carefully the content of the materials. A valid awareness of the materials will help the teacher anticipate student questions and concerns, and heightens the teacher's capacity to respond appropriately and responsibly. Most lessons employ the investigative approach to learning. This is partly due to the fact that the AIDS issue is constantly changing. What is true today learn better by doing. may not be true tomorrow. It is also true that people Several lessons require active student involvement. We know that time is always in short supply in the present school setting. However, it is time well spent if the information has an impact on the learners' behavior. We wish to extend our gratitude to the educators who gave of their time and talent in the preparation of this supplement. Without their expertise and dedication this project could not have been accomplished. TIE Editorial Staff Contributing Educators M.
