Heritage Human Research Protections Program Process for Implementation of a Heritage Program in a School |
|
Evaluations & Standards
All teaching and evaluation materials must be submitted to the appropriate school/agency/institution authorities for approval by their designated officials in accordance with local, state and federal laws and guidelines. Arrange for appropriate meetings with site officials to review the Heritage program and secure approval. Provide opportunities for parent/guardian review of Heritage program and evaluation materials prior to the distribution of consent forms. It is the Heritage Educator’s responsibility to ensure that no minor participates in the program without the permission of his/her parent/guardian.
Abstinence education classes must be divided by gender as required by state law. The Site Approved Representative should be in the classroom with the Heritage representative at all times. The Site Approved Representative should be the person normally in charge of the students, such as the regular classroom teacher. |
Agreements between service sites and Heritage are initiated in various ways. For example, a program request may be initiated by someone in a community who is familiar with Heritage programs (such as a parent or school official). Or, a Heritage representative may make an agency or institution aware of its services. 
The Parent/Guardian Permission Form includes notification that Heritage materials are available for review at the program site or at the Heritage Office, an invitation for parents/guardians to call the Heritage Regional Director with any questions, and an invitation to call the school to schedule a time to observe the classes.
