Assessment Documents

Outcomes Checklist– Each pamphlet has an Outcomes Checklist, designed to itemize the
measurable components of the pamphlet and the IM content. Check off knowledge and
skills the parents have gained with this pamphlet content and their level of proficiency.
These assessment documents are included with the pamphlets. More details on the
assessment documents are found in the section Measuring Success later in this
introduction.

Training with the Parenting Pamphlets

Each pamphlet is designed to be a flexible, independent unit of instruction. These
pamphlets make up the core curriculum for all learning. You may supplement additional
materials as desired, and the Instructor’s Manual provides additional information on each

topic. Use your professional judgment to set the program to the needs of the parents.
Depending on how your program is structured, if a parent needs more time or something
in their weekly time allotment has changed, you have the ability to expand and contract
the amount of time you take, as long as you cover the material.

For Evaluation Only
The time it will take to complete different pamphlets will vary based on the needs and
skills of the individual. It is estimated that each pamphlet will take approximately 45
minutes to complete. The Instructor’s Guide provides two hour training guidelines for each
pamphlet. Individuals with special needs may require significantly more time to complete
the reading, discussion, and activities involved in each pamphlet.
