  5. Why Have a RealCare Program? 1. To give teens a realistic 24-hour experience in caring for an infant in a safe environment with meaningful evaluation and feedback. 2. To build character, teach responsibility, and encourage healthy babies, healthy families, and as a result, healthy communities. 3. To demonstrate the impact babies have on a person’s lifestyle, free time, extended family and future.

  6. On average, a U.S. teenager becomes pregnant every minute! Kost, K., Henshaw, S., & Carlin, L. (2014). U.S. Teenage Pregnancies, Births and Abortions: National and State Trends and Trends by Race and Ethnicity. Retrieved January 2010, from http://www.guttmacher.org/pubs/USTPtrends.pdf.

  7. Why Have a RealCare Program? 4. To help break the cycle of teenage pregnancy by demonstrating the consequences of teen sexual activity and early parenthood. 5. To provide hands-on education in infant care skills to help ensure proper care and handling and reduce the incidence of SIDS, SBS, and child abuse.

  8. Why Have a RealCare Program? 6. To increase awareness of the time commitment and constant, caring attention a baby needs, and the importance of having these skills before bringing a baby into the world. 7. To help expectant teen mothers work through important decisions regarding keeping their babies or giving them up for adoption. 8. To help at-risk individuals make better choices about sexual activity, alcohol use and other unhealthy behaviors that often lead to teen pregnancy, abortion, premature birth and unhealthy newborns.

  9. Children of adolescent mothers are twice as likely to be abused as those born to 20- or 21-year-olds. Hoffman, S.D., By the Numbers: The Public Costs of Adolescent Childbearing. 2006, The National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy Washington, DC.

  10. Why Have a RealCare Program? 9. To create a community of teens that is better prepared to make decisions about the timing of parenting that matches their personal and professional goals. 10. To help students make behavior decisions based on accurate information and from first hand experiential learning.

  11. Program Details What you need to know: • Every student gets to pick the date that they will take the baby out. • You may cancel and reschedule as you wish. Just know that the responsibility to schedule your parenting experience belongs to the student, not the teacher. • Every student must have a RealCare contract completed and signed by a parent or guardian, regardless of the age of the student prior to taking the baby.

  12. Program Details…continued What you need to know: • You must pass the baby project to pass the class and graduate. • If you have a failing grade due to mishandling, you will be given an assignment about child abuse to raise your grade to the passing level. • If you would like to redo the project for a new grade, you can reschedule at the end of the quarter, but that will not excuse you for doing the project about child abuse.

  13. Program Details…continued • Your grade will consist of two separate categories. • Your grade on the baby project, using a rubric that will be discussed in class.
