The objective of FLM in this area is to
provide parents, parent educators, and other
parish staff with tools that will help them
in the development of a working knowledge of
Parent Education in order to learn how to
design, use or evaluate any parenting
program, as well as to develop a working
knowledge on the topic.
An additional goal of
FLM is to begin forming an on-line Parent
Network to encourage replication of
effective programs, resource sharing,
multi-site evaluation, collaboration,
technical, and mutual support.
FLM recommends a
variety of best practices, programs,
services, organizations, etc., along with
Links
and Frequently
Asked Questions, relating to Parenting
Education that we believe will be useful to
many.
