Welcome

  • The CFLE’s award-winning National Sex Ed Conference is the PREMIER place for sexuality educators to network and learn! Open to health educators, community educators, teachers, professors, nurses, social workers, counselors, therapists, scholars…if you teach sex ed, this is the conference for YOU!

    This year’s conference will be held December 11-13, 2013 at the Meadowlands in New Jersey. Featured speakers include Rev. Debra W. Haffner (president of the Religious Institute), Sam Killermann (creator of the “Genderbread Person”), Al Vernacchio (author of the forthcoming “For Goodness Sex”), Heather Corinna (founder of Scarleteen), and a few more wonderful surprises!

    The 2013 National Sex Ed Conference co-chairs, Cat Dukes and Karen Rayne, share this vision:

    “The National Sex Ed Conference is a place for sex educators to build community, learn new creative and cutting-edge approaches, and collectively envision the future of our field.  We are thrilled to begin to develop this conference as a platform for discussion about the research, methodologies, and evolving technologies that will serve sexuality educators in effectively meeting the needs of our students. This is a dynamic time in the fields of education and sexuality, and we look forward to planning an exciting conference that reflects those trends.”
