How can parenting education, as required under the revised graduation requirements, be delivered to students first entering grade 9 in the school year 2001-2002 and beyond?
Instruction must be delivered through health education programs, family and consumer sciences programs, or through a separate course. The teachers must be certified in health education or family and consumer sciences education. The Department is developing guidelines that will include a scope and sequence for parenting education to help schools design programs. The guidelines will also include a content matrix aligning the State and national standards for health education and consumer sciences education, model learning experiences, and sample assessments.
