As a Parenting Educator, are you taking stock of your knowledge, skills, and competencies?

The Parenting Educator Competencies: A Resource Document for the Field of Parenting Education can assist you in doing a self assessment.

Take a look at this model. Where do you feel you are strong? Where do you feel you could improve? 

Use the competencies to improve your abilities as a parenting educator.


The goal of parenting educators is to help people become effective parents in the context of their families. Successful families are interconnected with other people including those in their family and community.

Parenting educators share strategies on communication skills, realistic expectations for everyone in the household, and managing the responsibilities of daily living when raising children.

Parents juggle many roles with their children. Parenting educators show parents how these roles overlap when time is focused on children. Parents can be teachers, play partners, and guides all in the same moment to nurture their child’s growth.

Thank you for what you are doing to promote our organization and the value of parenting education in your community!

NPEN'S EQUITY AND JUSTICE STATEMENT

The National Parenting Education Network (NPEN) operates through the lens of equity and justice. We know the importance of social justice (racial, economic, educational, health, housing, employment, criminal, and environmental), diversity, equity, inclusion, access, and belonging within the parenting education field and our organization. We demonstrate our commitment to these realities by ensuring that our membership and leadership roles are open to parenting professionals of all ethnicities, socio-economic statuses, ages, abilities, religions, sexual orientations, nationalities, genders, and marital statuses.  

Children learn about a just society through the words and actions of their parents, caregivers, and others.  We assert that our anti-racism and anti-oppression parenting education and family advocacy work allows everyone to be heard and supported. Our work includes promoting diverse parenting educators and parenting education in our media, webinars, member communications, leadership opportunities, networking, conferences, trainings, and advocacy. By keeping racial justice, diversity, equity, inclusion, access, and belonging at the forefront, we create an environment within NPEN that supports parenting educators, parents, and caregivers, thereby, encouraging children’s healthy growth and development.
