Questions
The things organizations actually ask.
Answered the way they would be answered on the phone, including the ones where the answer is no.
No, and we will not say it is. It is evidence informed, grounded in five established frames, with a comparison group study designed and its protocol published in advance. Worth knowing: the most widely used fatherhood curricula in the country are also unrated by every clearinghouse that rates.
Yes. Florida DCF permits an evidence informed curriculum with documented justification and prior written Department approval, and the written justification is supplied with the kit.
A father or father figure for a child aged 17 or younger. Biological, custodial, legal, adoptive, foster or stepfather, grandfather, non relative male, or male family member in a father role. Ages 15 and up.
It was written for young fathers first and it is not restricted to them. If you are thirty eight and nobody ever taught you any of this, it lands.
No. About half of the men who use it were never in anybody's system and never will be.
Yes. Participation in the faith content is voluntary, completion is measured on lessons and never on belief, and a secular equivalent exists for every faith element. No participant is screened on, evaluated on, or reported on for religious participation.
Delivery, yes. Language, setting, pacing, examples, facilitator, modality. Content, no. Any proposed content change goes in the adaptation register before it is delivered. That rule is what makes fidelity a claim rather than a hope.
Yes, and it was designed for it. Print track, no internet required, no metal in the binding, and a six week configuration for unpredictable release dates.
24 contact hours in every configuration. Twelve weeks, eight weeks, or six weeks.
20 of 24 lessons. 80 percent. The same figure a state contract uses, so nobody has to reconcile two definitions.
Yes, or print your own from the file included with the kit. Under a funded contract it is a budgeted line and the participant is never charged.
English now. Spanish and Haitian Creole in development, built rather than translated after the fact.
Yes, and certification is required with any kit. Technical assistance continues for as long as you run the program.
