About Active Video Learning™

The goal of Active Video Learning™ is to engage and challenge you to actively integrate the principles of shown video examples into your professional repertoire with particular respect to your current setting and client needs. Rather than passively watching a video and expecting to be shown how a specific example worked, you will be exposed to challenges, pitfalls and even anti-models. Ultimately, your success in a real escalation scenario will be a product of determined study of all available strategies and the application of the RIGHT RESPONSE for your specific client or setting.

Keep in mind that capturing real escalations is difficult due to timing and privacy violations. Even when we do capture a real escalation on video, it may not provide definitive education as the cause and the response can vary from instance to instance based on the situation. Thusly, no one video clip will allow you to ultimately learn how to respond in all situations. Broad learning can take place, however, when a focus is placed on the principles of de-escalation and how the motivational model works so that we always have the RIGHT RESPONSE.

Active Video Learning™ segments are used to promote insight, discussion and to provide examples of de-escalation principles.

When a video does not closely match your setting, client or particular problem, you may tune out assuming that the example does not apply to your need. Vital learning can be missed if you do not actively work to adopt all the presented concepts, principles and strategies into the context of your specific client or setting. Your instructor will assist you in learning how to apply the concepts and principles to your needs and settings.

There are responses that may come easily and naturally to you. Some responses will be challenging and difficult, requiring practice in delivery and use. Your success will be maximized when you set learning objectives for yourself, particularly with respect to the responses which are challenging for you. Remember that practice is required to become skilled in response strategies.
