Students will write up a plan for a hypothetical parent-education program that they may one day be called upon to implement. Students should choose a setting and target population that is reasonable given their career goals (e.g., someone planning to work in child care might create a plan for sessions to be provided for working parents of toddlers) or something that they would like to pursue in a future career (e.g., someone who wants to work with parents of children with disabilities might create a program that could be offered at EPU). The plan should include a detailed paragraph on each of the following sections:

• General description of the setting and characteristics of the target population (e.g., court-recommended education for parents of out-of-control teenagers, voluntary class offered in a hospital for couples having their first baby, court-mandated education for divorcing parents, etc.)
• Content of the educational intervention, referring directly to the concepts that are included in the Parenting Pyramid (will attach pyramid). Rationale should be offered for the content included.
• Strategies for teaching the program that reflect best practices for adult education. Make sure your description connects to course content. Cite all sources.
• Evaluation plan. How will you determine if your intervention works? Make sure your description connects to course content.

The Parent Education Plan should:

• Include your name, date, and section
• Include a title page
• Be free of spelling and grammar errors
• Follow all APA conventions for formatting:
  • 12 point font, Times New Roman
  • Double-spaced
  • Include citations where needed in all instances
  • No more than three written pages (not including title page and reference page)

• Table 10.1 Levels of Program Evaluation Level of Evaluation Relevant Questions Method of Evaluation 1. Need Do parents want the help that is being offered? Do they need it? Needs assessment in community. 2. Implementation System analysis Is the program feasible? Can par- ents show up when it is offered? Are qualified staff available? Is it cost-effective? 3. Satisfaction Do parents enjoy attending the class? Do they feel that it is worthwhile? Satisfaction survey at the end of the program 4. Knowledge or Attitude Do parents have a better Change understanding of their children's needs? Did they gain knowledge of parenting strategies? Did they adopt more authoritative beliefs? Was their anxiety reduced? Pre-test and post-test questionnaire; ideally with a comparison group 5. Behavior Change Does parenting behavior change to reflect new skills, implemented according to best practices? Are behavior changes sustained over time? Self-report and direct observation of parenting behavior 6. Outcome Did the behavior change produce tangible improvements in the parent-child relationship? Or a reduction of problem behaviors in the child? Objective indicators, or third-party reports of child behavior.
