The Handbook for Evaluating HIV Education - Booklet 3

Appraising an HIV Curriculum

Conclusion

The appraisal of HIV curricula helps assure that school-based HIV education programs are delivered in the most effective and up-to-date manner possible. In reviewing HIV prevention curricula, school personnel together with local review panels should evaluate aspects of the curriculum that (1) address the identified needs of the students within the schools, communities, or regions; (2) examine the quality and completeness of the curriculum's components (i.e., instructional principles, functional knowledge, self-perceptions, attitudes, involvement of parents and guardians, skills, and duration); (3) determine the degree of fidelity between the curriculum and its application in the classroom; and (4) assess the impact of the curriculum on students' knowledge, attitudes, and behavior.
