In the Active Parenting lessons, participants are shown videos illustrating different parenting concepts. For example, one video shows a parent give a child a choice between reading a book about farms or a book about fairies. This is intended to show the “method of choice” concept.  Which of Merrill’s principles of instruction does this best represent?

According to existing research and theory, why is “Guide” an essential category included in the NEPEM? Imagine you are teaching a lesson to improve parenting skills in this category. What information would be most important to include? 

In terms of the activities portion of a logic model, the best practice is to:

Thomas visits new parents in their home and works with them to set parenting goals during their visits. He listens to the parents’ expertise about their child and then he shares information about child development, parenting strategies, and ways to play with their child. What role is BEST represented by the approach Thomas is taking as a parent educator?

The Success Center is offering a 10 session online parenting education program to 30 participants.  This description best represents which aspect of a logic model?

How many molecules of CO2 are present in 0.100 mol of CO2?

“Establish and maintain reasonable limits.” Which of the following NEPEM categories does this statement BEST match:

Standard disclaimer: use the algorithms from class, such as DFS, Explore, BFS, Dijkstra’s (using min-heaps), SCC, Kruskal’s, Prim’s etc., as a blackbox subroutine for your algorithm. Make sure to explain your algorithm in words (no pseudocode!), explain the correctness of your design, and state and analyze its running time. Faster – and correct – solutions worth more credit. Design an algorithm to solve the following problem:Input: a connected, undirected, weighted graph G = (V,E), and a subset U of the vertices  .Output: A spanning tree of G of minimal weight with the property that all the vertices in U are leaves. Note that there may be other leaves in the optimal tree and it isn’t necessarily a MST of G.

According to existing research and theory, why is “Nurture” an essential category included in the NEPEM? Imagine you are teaching a lesson to improve parenting skills in this category. What information would be most important to include? 

NEPEM is a conceptual framework to guide parent education programs that was developed by and for:
