- Enhancing Teen Parenting Skills through Practical Experiences in a Public School Child Care Setting. Reagan, Georgiana Adolescents Cooperative Programs Day Care Early Parenthood Parent Education Preschool Education Program Effectiveness Public Schools Secondary Education Because of social changes, a large number of teenagers are entering parenthood with little or no parenting education. A need has presented itself for communities, including school districts, to provide parenting education for teens. This practicum project involved the design and implementation of a strategy to provide practical parenting education for teen parents in a school district-based infant-toddler child care center in the southwestern United States. The strategy attempted to enhance the concepts taught in the traditional classrooms by providing hands-on activities for teen parents through a variety of methods. Data collected through pre- and post-tests, homework assignments, and teachers' observations and progress reports indicated that the program had a positive impact. Teen parents, child care center staff, and high school classroom teachers responded favorably to the project. Direct outcomes included a toy lending library, a social service resource directory for students, and the incorporation of the project strategy into the public school's curriculum for parenting classes. (Forty-four appendices include various program materials and survey forms and results. Contains 23 references.) (Author/EV)
