A big step toward creating more leaders for your community
Leading parenting workshops is an important and rewarding job, but you can't reach every parent yourself. In track #1, you will learn how to train others to be Active Parenting leaders, too.

Track #1a is designed for experienced Active Parenting facilitators. Since you are already familiar with the program, we'll spend more time at the TOT exploring effective leadership skills, including

• the "absolutes" to include in each LTW you conduct
• promoting and marketing your LTW
• review of the LTW agenda and using the training tape

Track #1a will be led by Dr. Michael Popkin, author of the programs and founder of Active Parenting Publishers.

At the TOT you will . . .

receive training and authorization to conduct your own Leader Training Workshops (LTWs)—and earn extra income learn how to implement and publicize your LTWs save your organization money by training its leaders internally enhance your presentation skills by working in small groups network with fellow educators who understand the challenges you face every day expand your professional opportunities learn how to teach group facilitation skills that are important in any leadership position (including dealing with difficult attendees) get advice from veteran Trainers about what's worked and what hasn't worked for them learn the absolutes required for a successful LTW, along with ways to adapt the course material for your particular audience become re-energized in this uplifting and motivational atmosphere
