Updated Parents as Teachers Resources and Records!
With the beginning of the new program year upon us, we are excited to let you know about several updated resources and records! These updates respond to requests and questions from the field, simplify and clarify guidance, and reduce data burden.
The updated resources include the 2025 version of the Affiliate Implementation Manual, Data in Motion manual, and Family File Review Tool. All are located in the Model Implementation Workspace in OLIVER.
In addition, several Parents as Teachers Records were streamlined, including: the Adapted Children’s Health Review Record (for families experiencing custody disruption); the Child Health Record; the Family Information Record; the Parent/Guardian Information Record; the Prenatal/Postpartum Record; and the Resource Connection Record.
These record updates were released a year ago to give data systems and affiliates time to get familiar with the changes. As of 7/1/25, they are now in effect. The updated records and instructions can be found in the PAT Records tab in the portal.
Lastly, also available in the PAT Records tab, you now have access to a variety of sample records that demonstrate the basics of what is expected for family file documentation, including:
- Family-Centered Assessment Synthesis Sample Record
- Goal Sample Record
- Personal Visit Sample Planning Guide
- Personal Visit Record (revised!) Sample
- Milestones Sample
- Resource Connection Record Sample
- Group Connection Planning Guide
- Group Connection Record
For more detailed information about the updates to the resources and the records, check out the “What’s Notable” documents accompanying each updated resource.
As always, we appreciate your work and your feedback and hope these updates help support you!!
