Ferguson-F’ssant Parents as Teachers Receives Leaders and Legends Award
The Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education presented the Ferguson-Florissant School District with the Parents as Teachers Leaders and Legends Award on March 13.
This award commemorates the district’s role as one of four pilot projects leading to the implementation of the Parents as Teachers program in Missouri. In 1981 the Ferguson-Florissant School District and three other districts developed and field-tested New Parents as Teachers with 380 families having their first baby. At the end of three years the pilot project children were tested by an independent evaluator and were found to be ahead of their peers in language, development, problem solving, and social development.
