XO HIV/AIDS curriculum(s) and review some strategies to provide impetus to
expand and enrich these. We want to look at the whole topic and what
topics require which tools. Some require discussion, some writing,
some manipulatives, etc.. We would do the same with some math
materials. Although two hours is very short for this kind of
work. I would be glad to come down for two sessions.
