External feedback was incorporated into course content to expand topics related to parents/guardians of infants and toddlers and increasing course content for parents of high school age youth.
Learning OutcomesPreschool content was modified to be offered in the CO classroom and parents/guardians were encouraged to bring their children to specific classes in the evening hours.

Data Sharing Methods

Face-to-face meetings

Data SummaryMajority of participants in the course were parents of children between 15 months - 5 years and were interested in evening sessions and increased content for that age group.

Despite strongly advocating for increasing course content for infant and high school age-groups, only 20% of attendees represented parents with children or youth in these age groups. Because topics need to be relevant to the stage of parenting development and to topics related to specific students, attendance, participation and discussion between students is important to track.
Analysis SummaryWe are reassessing content, location, course times and outcomes due to the uneven participation of the student/parents. We are not offering the course this semester so we can review outcomes...
Next Steps PlannedWe will re-write course outline to address various parenting stages and developmental topics. We will re-structure course to better match parents stated needs. We will then re-offer the redesigned course in Fall 2014.
