Crosswalk: Standards of Quality for Family Strengthening & Support and Parents as Teachers Quality Standards

Developed by Parents as Teachers in partnership with the National Family Support Network, this crosswalk identifies areas of correspondence between the two sets of standards. The crosswalk also identifies how information and documentation compiled for the Standards of Quality Program Self-Assessment Tool can be used as evidence in the Parents as Teachers quality endorsement process. The opposite also applies - information and documentation compiled for the Parents as Teachers quality endorsement can be used for the Standards of Quality Program Self-Assessment. In this way, the Standards of Quality Program Self-Assessment and the Parents as Teachers Quality Endorsement process can be mutually informative and beneficial for Parents as Teachers affiliates.  The recording and materials from the December 7, 2016 webinar presenting this crosswalk can be found here.
