Abstract: Students in North Carolina deserve a thorough, inclusive puberty and development education experience so that they can become empowered to make informed decisions about their bodies and their relationships. This study aims to evaluate the current North Carolina puberty and development education curriculum and relate this to national gaps in puberty and development and sexuality education in order to suggest a proposal for bettering the curriculum. The study is composed of both a literature review that examines trends in gaps in puberty and development and sexuality education on a national scale and a survey of puberty and development educators within the United States. The study found that trends on a national level were consistent with educator experiences in the survey, and a proposal for change was offered to combat gaps in puberty and development education within North Carolina.
