Our Approach
The Parents as Teachers approach is to partner, facilitate and reflect. These processes occur at every level of our organization, from visiting a family in their home all the way through the work of the National Center.
Partner:
Our belief in the strengths and capacities of families, professionals, organizations, and stakeholders drives relationships of shared power, trust, and common interest.
Facilitate:
We work to understand perspectives, synthesize and provide accessible research-based information, apply and promote quality practices, and engage in informed decision-making.
Reflect:
We utilize practices to increase awareness, reveal strengths and challenges, and to explore new ideas and solutions.
