NPEN is the National Parenting Education Network. NPEN is a group of parenting education professionals, researchers, program administrators, and others striving to build the field of parenting education by networking and making connections to move the field forward. In order to expand participation, NPEN is currently developing an outreach plan to increase state involvement. NPEN is comprised of practitioners who provide parenting education as a primary part of their work. NPEN has local, state, and national structures for resources and support. It is bound together by commonly accepted principles, notably the principles of embeddedness and inclusivity. This means that NPEN takes the position that one goal of parenting education is to provide access to parenting education resources for all parents and recognizes that parenting education is embedded in a large number of organizations and fields, all of which are important in addressing NPEN's goals. NPEN seeks to represent the interests and needs of the many professionals, paraprofessionals and volunteers who serve as parenting educators. NPEN is governed by a council of 20-25 members who set the policy and establish the projects to be pursued. For more information: http://npen.org/ |
