The Birth and Parenting Educators’ Assessment Tool: Student, New or Experienced Educator aims to provide a user-friendly guide to a meaningful, professional conversation between the educator and the assessor or mentor.

Ideally, the Childbirth and Early Parenting Educators chooses the assessor or mentor to observe the facilitation of a group session and then provide feedback for further professional development, in a similar way to clinical supervision provided in other health professions, unless the assessment is part of completing a formal education program.

The Assessment Tool aims to assess how well the Educators applies the Competency Standards to their practice and can be adapted to various contexts.
