Parenting Skills Workshop Facilitator Training
The Facilitator
Training is designed for parenting educators and others who work with
parents/caregivers/children/families and who wish to gain experience with
the Parenting Skills Workshop Series.
The program model is easily replicable, inexpensive, and builds upon partnerships
among agencies.
The 2-day training will include:
- An overview
of empowerment as developed by the Family Matters Project of Cornell
University
- A short
review of Arnold Goldstein’s structured learning method
- Introduction
of Enhanced Parenting Skills curriculum and discussion topics:
parenting styles and discipline, child development, cultural influences,
environmental issues
- Discussion
and practice of the five Parenting Skills Workshop Series skills:
Encouragement, Can Do, Choices, Self Control, Respecting Feelings
- Active
participation and role play within small groups
- Introduction
and overview of Parenting Skills for Literacy
New
this year: Enhanced Parenting Skills, a curriculum
addition that extends the Parenting Skills Workshop Series by
focusing on parenting styles and discipline, child development, cultural
influences and environmental issues (to be offered to parents in Fall
2008 in Tompkins County as the Parenting Styles Workshop Series).
The 2-day
Facilitator Training will prepare professionals to reinforce use of the
five communication skills with clients, and to conduct or make referrals
to the Parenting Skills Workshop Series or the Parenting
Styles Workshop Series. Past workshop participants include: parenting
educators, DSS personnel, social workers, teachers, child care providers,
