The teacher's guide and student reference book presented here were developed as resources to facilitate school-age parenting education. The materials were organized around the nine essential elements for the Parenting Education for School-Age Parents course in Texas. The teacher's guide contains teaching strategies, teaching aids, paper-and-pencil activities for students, tests, and answer keys for use in teaching school-age parenting programs. The student reference book contains information and essential concepts relating to parenting skills. Within the text, bold-faced vocabulary terms are included with definitions or explanations; illustrations aid student learning. Each chapter includes a summary, vocabulary, and questions for review. In addition, 59 references are listed.
