The New Zealand Ministry of Social Development’s Family and Community Services created Parents as First Teachers by adapting the Parents as Teachers (PAT) model to specifically meet the needs of their Indigenous populations. However, Parents as First Teachers is not associated with PAT. As of 2016, implementation support is no longer available for Parents as First Teachers.
Where to find out more
There is no contact information available for this model.
This model does not meet criteria established by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for an evidence-based home visiting model because findings from high- or moderate-rated effectiveness studies of the model do not demonstrate favorable (statistically significant) impacts in at least two outcome domains within one sample OR the same domain for at least two non-overlapping samples.
Does not meet criteria for an evidence-based home visiting model for Indigenous peoples and communities.
