Leader Training Workshops
Frequently Asked Questions:

Active Parenting Publishers


Q What's included in the price of the workshop?
A
You'll receive a workbook, a Parent's Guide and the How to Start and Promote a Parenting Education Group booklet. Program kits are not included in the price of the workshop.

Q Why do you offer Active Parenting of Teens and Active Parenting Now in one workshop?
A
The focus of these workshops is "How to lead a successful group" using Active Parenting principles rather than only specific program content. Both programs share the same concept and similar format. The workshop will allow you to view some video vignettes from each program.

Q I have already created my own materials to teach parenting groups. Why should I attend Active Parenting Workshops?
A
Although Active Parenting programs were designed to be used as complete parenting courses, they can also be used to enhance existing programs. The training you receive here will help you integrate the materials into your own. Plus you'll learn helpful information about parenting education in general.

Q Who will be leading my Leader Training Workshop?
A
Your workshop will be facilitated by one of Active Parenting’s certified national trainers. These trainers—who are themselves veteran parenting education leaders—have completed our rigorous Training of Trainers program and achieved certification.

Q What if I have to cancel?
A
Leader Training Workshop: Full registration fee will be refunded if cancellation is made at least fifteen days prior to the workshop. Otherwise, a credit will be issued to be used for future Active Parenting training.
Training of Trainers: If you cancel at least 15 days prior to the TOT, all but $100 will be refunded. If you cancel fewer than 15 business days before the TOT, a credit will be issued to be used for future Active Parenting training.

Q How can I become a certified Active Parenting leader?
A
Once you've attended the training, you can become an Active Parenting certified leader by holding your first parenting group and sending us the evaluations from your class, along with your self-evauation. If your evaluations are positive, we will certify you as an Active Parenting leader. Of course you may continue to hold parenting classes even if you choose not be become certified.



Q What if I need more training than this?
A
The 3-day Training of Trainers (ToT) seminars, held each summer, offer an extended learning opportunity for both beginning and experienced leaders.
