Center for Parent Education

Texas Registry of Parent Educator Resources (ROPER)

History

Originally funded by the Children's Trust Fund of Texas and the Texas Department of Family and Protective, Texas ROPER was created to bring cohesion to the field of parent education in Texas.

Texas ROPER includes an Parent Educator Database that registers parent educators from across Texas and provides them with newsletters, training, and a website, (http://www.parenteducation.unt.edu). The website includes links to research, organizations, a calendar of conferences, job opportunities, a forum for questions and ideas, newsletters, and resources for parents. The searchable database can be used by parents, agencies, and parenting professionals to locate parent educators by location, topics they have experience in teaching (such as sibling rivalry, drug or violence prevention, or adolescent communication), language, or parenting program they are trained to teach.
