Parents who know more about parenting and child development and who have a stronger belief or mindset that they can make a difference in their child’s development, are more apt to interact with their children in ways that promote learning than parents with less parenting knowledge. Therefore, parenting knowledge is essential for promoting optimal development in children. Yet, parenting knowledge is not typically available in any formal way to US citizens. In this project we build on previous work to provide a national standards framework around parenting/child development education coupled with an evaluation framework and assessment tool to help schools/states determine whether students are meeting the learning standards. This project is funded by Strengthening Future Families.

This study is being run **in-person.**
