The document proposes a framework for certifying parenting educators in New York State. It draws on models from other states and outlines several levels of certification - from Certified Parenting Educator Resource Associate to Certified Parenting Educator (Master). Each level would require certain educational and experience requirements, as well as demonstrated competency in core content areas like child development and relationship skills. The framework is meant to professionalize the field of parenting education and provide standards to help parents identify qualified educators.
