Certifying Parenting Educators across New York State

March 24, 2:00 - 3:30 pm
From the sponsors of the webinar: Last summer, NYSPEP’s Professional Development
committee formed an ad hoc committee to begin formulating a process in which parenting
educators across the state of NY could become certified. The committee hopes to have this
process sufficiently evolved to launch a pilot to certify their first cohort of parenting
educators in December 2010. Representatives of Certification Committee will give an
overview of this process and a preliminary outline of what will be required to certify at four
levels of competence. More info and to register:

Visit Coaching: Building on Family Strengths to Meet Children’s Needs (NRCPFC
Webcast)
Wednesday, April 7, 2010, 1:00-2:00 PM EST
Summarized from NRCPFC Weekly Update 3/17/10: Visits between children in foster care
and their families often do not build on family strengths or help them to demonstrate that
they can meet their children's safety and developmental needs. Visits can alienate parents,
children, and foster parents. . . Visit coaching is an innovative approach that can replace
parenting classes and office-based visits with hands-on guidance for families in meeting
their children's needs. Join NRCPFC Executive Director, Gerald P. Mallon, and others. To
