Which training pathway is right for you?
1. One pathway begins and ends with Foundational Training
For those organizations that cannot meet requirements for model replication, this pathway lays the foundation for home visiting as a methodology within the early childhood system. You will have annual “approved user” access to online materials. Register for Foundational Training only.
Foundational Training Description (register)
This three-day training lays the foundation for the Parents as Teachers approach to home visitation within an early childhood system. Coursework centers around three main areas of emphasis:
-
- Parent-Child Interaction – enhancing child development and supporting the development of positive parenting behaviors
- Development-Centered Parenting – understanding parents’ perspectives and facilitating parenting decisions around developmental topics
- Family Well-Being – recognizing the impact of the family system on child development and partnering with parents to strengthen protective factors.
Cost to access the online Foundational Curriculum is included in the training fee. Successful completion of Foundational Training results in approved use of the Foundational Curriculum. Individuals from affiliated programs can continue on to Model Implementation Training to achieve model certification. (Foundational Training is encouraged but not required for new supervisors.)

2. One pathway leads to Parents as Teachers affiliation
This is the pathway to high quality replication and strong, significant outcomes for children. Our goal is to help your organization fully understand and put into practice those things that make a quality Parents as Teachers affiliate. Organizations interested in affiliation must meet the essential requirements, perform a Readiness Reflection, and complete an Affiliate Plan. After completing training, individuals will have annual “certified parent educator” access to online materials and programs will have “affiliate” status.
