This guide is to be used by leaders of inservice training workshops for instructors of parent study groups interested in learning new parenting skills that will foster home-based preschool education. The introduction provides suggestions on how a school might begin a program of school-sponsored, home-based early childhood education. The guidelines include: reasons for school sponsorship, how to organize and finance the program, selection and training of instructors, scheduling parent study groups, and techniques for teaching parents. The program guide is primarily concerned with use of the four inservice training filmstrips on selecting participants and group leaders, purpose of the filmstrips, general and instructional considerations, the procedure for using the filmstrips, and how to evaluate the teacher inservice training. The four filmstrips are entitled: Introduction to Home-Based Preschool Education; The Nature of the Adult Learner; Methods for Helping Parents Learn; and Additional Activities and Experiences for Helping Adults Learn. The texts of each filmstrips are given and annotated with pertinent discussion questions. A bibliography of suggested reading on working with parents and general child rearing is included, along with lists of booklets, pamphlets and simple how-to books appropriate for parents. (ED)
