The Parent's Toolshop teaches a unique problem-solving process called the "Universal BlueprintTM" that teaches parents how to prevent problems and find an individualized solution to those that arise. Only certified Parents Toolshop instructors are trained and authorized to teach this process to others. The Universal BlueprintTM is so effective that parent educators can use the Universal BlueprintTM and model its skills to teach the process to parents. Parent's Toolshop instructors must do more than present parenting information; they are expected to conduct interactive activities, small group discussions, and practice exercises in their programs. In addition, they must market and evaluate their programs. These are all tasks not usually found through traditional social service education -- but Parents Toolshop instructor certification trains professionals to do all this. To maintain the high quality and positive reputation of The Parent's Toolshop, all potential "Group Facilitators" must pass stringent screening and complete a three-step pre-certification process to be eligible to attend this specialized training. Intended audience: Applicants interested in providing parent education and family life education programs based on The Parent's Toolshop curriculum who have completed the pre-certification process.
