PAT Update: Key Parents as Teacher's Findings: A Research Overview
Studies on Parents as Teachers (PAT) have been going on since the program started in 1984. Schools, private groups, persons, and states have studied how PAT works. In the studies, researchers (people doing the study) talked to parents who were in the Parents as Teachers program and parents who were not in the PAT program. The researchers counted how many times all these parents went to visit their children in schools, school activities, and talked to the teachers. The researchers compared the two groups and found that the parents in PAT did more things to help their children do better in school.

PAT Update: Where Does a Good Start in School Begin?
For those of us working with children and families, the idea that there is a particular point in time when one is “ready to learn” doesn't ring true to our experience.

PAT believes that a good start for school begins at birth. This information brief provides information for professionals on school readiness related to the PAT program.
