My name is Jose Morales and I am a middle school special education teacher. Throughout the years, I have met students from all forms of life, each having a unique story to tell. The audience this presentation is targeted for is anyone who works in a school. This includes anyone from kinder through high school, regardless of experience in teaching. The topic I chose was Sexual Violence Prevention & Response. I selected this topic because sexual violence is a big problem in our school system.

# data[].attributes.body
I chose Sexual Violence as my legal   guide because the impact it is having in the education system. The first problem is the increase sexual assault cases in the country. According to the Education Department, sexual violence rose from about 9,600 in the 15-16 school year to about nearly 15,000 in 17-18 year. Cases are rising each year and should be a concern for anyone who works in education. This is impacting the field by creating a unsafe environment for the students, who will feel pressure and isolation from others.

An issue emerging from this topic would be student pregnancy. This is causing young mothers to drop out of school and provide support for their newborn. Educators should be aware that unwanted pregnancy comes from sexual violence and assault. It is important for educators to be on the lookout for the well-being of his/her students when it comes to relationships.

One of the first steps to prevent sexual violence is to discuss consent in all its forms. Consent requires agreement from both parties. The second step is to explain sexual subjectivity. The partner should be straightforward in what they are seeking in their needs. The last step is promoting a healthy relationships for everyone. Communication is key to help promote a respectful culture.
