" Training of Trainers Active Parenting's annual Training of Trainers (ToT) seminars are a mixture of fun and learning. Three days of vigorous training will help you expand your professional skills while learning to train new family educators for your organization and community Why our video-based programs get results A successful education program depends as much on how it is taught as on what is taught. The goal in founding Active Parenting Publishers in 1983 was to apply state-of-the-art educational technology to the field of parenting education. Three years of research and development led Active Parenting founder Michael Popkin to conclude that video-based training was the most cost-efffective innovation available, and we were the first to produce video-based parent education programs. Today this powerful delivery system continues to be ideal. In fact, most Fortune 500 companies have adopted video-based training as their standard. Here’s why: Video shows as well as tells, and behavioral modeling is a powerful learning method. According to one study on learning attributed to Xerox, people retain: - 10% of what they read - 20% of what they hear - 50% of what they see When integrated into a multi-sensory approach (using the Participant’s Guide, activities, video, discussion, practice and feedback), retention has been as high as 80-90%. Because it is more interesting, stimulating and entertaining, participation is higher A complete video-based package saves the leader preparation time that can be used in other activities During group sessions the video is like a co-leader, giving the leader a chance to relax and plan while the course is still progressing Our society grew up on TV. We identify with the medium. We like it.
