Dr. Jason Snow received his Doctorate from Georgia State University after completing a dissertation on decreasing attrition (i.e., drop-out rates) in parent education classes. The topic of decreasing attrition in parenting classes was chosen by Dr. Snow as he had been a parent educator for several years and had presented in professional conferences throughout the United States on the topic. He noticed that since the beginning of research on the effectiveness of parent education groups in the mid 1970’s, reports of between 30% and 60% attrition rates had been present in peer-reviewed journals. Dr. Snow recognized that the only way a parent education course could be effective is if the participants actually finished the program. Thus, he started working on identifying and then correcting the reasons that parents drop out. After numerous research studies (see the listing of some publications below), Dr. Snow has demonstrated that his presentation strategies can be used in a wide-variety of settings and can also reduce attrition. Currently, Dr. Snow’s teaching and presentation style has resulted in an unbelievable 0% drop-out rate even in difficult settings! The key to Dr. Snow's successful presentation style for parents, educators, and/or professionals centers on connecting with the audience to make the material easy to understand and apply individually. |
