-
This final report describes the development and evaluation of a parent education program, the Houston Parent Child Development Center in Houston, Texas. Funded by the Office of Child Development the Houston Model was especially developed to meet the needs of low income Mexican American families with preschool children. Major components of the program consisted of home visits, language development, a Parent Advisory Council, family workshops, community services and an in-center program. Chapter I of the document covers the economic and educational backgrounds of the families, their access to resources such as health services and family values. Chapter II considers the research basis for parent education including parent role and parents' own expectations for their children. A third chapter discusses program goals for mothers, fathers and children. Chapter IV gives a description of the model in terms of family involvement, professional staffing, educational methods and the bilingual/bicultural aspects of the program. Chapter V is an overall program description. Chapter VI presents the evaluation strategy and design, Chapter VII the program evaluation itself. (MS)
