Parent Education Core Curriculum Framework and Indicators now available for educators

A new draft (July 2008) of the Parent Education Core Curriculum Framework and Indicators (PECCFI) document is now available for parent educators to download and print. In addition, editable forms are available for educators to use in developing parent education curriculum.

The Parent Education Core Curriculum Framework and Indicators is not intended to be a prescribed curriculum. It provides a framework that defines and places parameters around the core content—what we teach—in parent education.

The specific goals of the Parent Education Core Curriculum Framework and Indicators are to provide a resource that:

  1. Frames or defines the body of knowledge in the field of parent education.

  2. Identifies the intended content and objectives of parent education in ECFE and Even Start in Minnesota.

  3. Is applicable across the field of parent education with any type of parent education program, population, setting, and delivery mode.

  4. Is a planning tool for development and delivery of parent education curriculum and lesson plans.

  5. Provides guidance for parent goal setting in parent education.

  6. Guides assessment of parent education outcomes and programs.

  7. Promotes accountability in parent education programs and with individual parent educators.

  8. Informs practice in parent education.
