Active Teaching: Enhancing Discipline, Self-esteem and Student Performance


In-service training for teachers of grades K-6. Teachers can use Active Parenting skills too! Written by Michael H. Popkin, Ph.D., Active Teaching is a video and discussion program which provides K-6 teachers with the skills they need to handle behavioral problems.

Use discipline techniques that work!
Using the same powerful principles as Active Parenting, Active Teaching is based on the premise that if you encourage students, build their self-esteem and treat them with respect, you will have fewer behavioral problems. Since correction is sometimes necessary, however, Active Teaching also offers positive discipline techniques.

Teachers and parents can all use the same powerful Active Parenting principles!
Active Teaching uses entertaining videos to demonstrate common problems that teachers face in the classroom and then offer solutions to those problems.

It’s easy to lead a group using the video and group-discussion format!
The Active Teaching program kit comes with a Leader’s Guide designed to make it easy for you or a member of your staff to lead a group. (Teachers follow along with a Teacher’s Handbook.) Or, if you prefer, one of our National Trainers can visit your site and conduct a custom-designed workshop just for you. Call 800-825-0060 or send e-mail for details.
