Our goals: Prevent child abuse and neglect. Increase parent knowledge of early childhood development. Improve parenting practices, increasing children's school readiness and success. Provide early detection of developmental delays and health issues.
Both parents and teachers play a pivotal role in educating a child. Parents are a child's first teacher. They teach essential life and academic skills while providing love and support that help students healthily develop.
The Parents as Teachers model aims to (1) increase parent knowledge of early childhood development and improve parenting practices, (2) provide early detection of developmental delays and health issues, (3) prevent child abuse and neglect, and (4) increase children's school readiness and school success.
There are four interrelated and integrated components to the PAT model: personal visits, group connections, screening, and resource network.
Parents are the one responsible for providing the needs of their children like love, attention, support, material things and most of all knowledge. Parents are indeed the best teachers of their children; they give knowledge in several ways. First, they're the one who teach their child to talk in their early age.
Ultimately, parents must maintain discipline and control of their children's behavior, whether at school or away from school. The parental duty in this regard includes direct responsibility for all aspects of children's conduct and financial liability for their misconduct or negligence.
Encouraging parental involvement such as volunteering at school events. Making routine phone calls to the student's home to connect with parents and family on a regular basis. Creating a weekly newsletter that can be sent to all family members for every student to convey generalized information.
These parents may be easier to reach on the phone or via email. Teachers can also use phone calls and emails to regularly communicate with parents between conferences. Text messages. Some teachers use mass text messages or special messaging apps to communicate with parents.
Parents as Teachers offers four components:Parenting/child development information provided through home visits, telephone calls, group meetings, and so forth.Parent support groups.Child screenings/assessments.Referral to services as appropriate.
When parents are warm, responsive, encouraging, and communicative—the key elements of developmental parenting—they lay the foundation for young children's school readiness, social competence, and mental health.
To help achieve fidelity to the PAT model, the PAT National Center requires that affiliates provide annual data on their fidelity to the program model through an Affiliate Performance Report.
