What Is STET?

The Systematic Training for Effective Teaching (STET)^®program has been around since 1980. It is based on the principles of psychology that were introduced by Dr. Alfred Adler in the early 1900’s. Dr. Adler’s approach to psychology was one of teaching, training, and helping people understand by making things clear, concise, and user-friendly. When STET^® was first published, the basic idea was the same … teaching teachers how to be more effective in the classroom by helping them understand the basic concepts of child psychology.

Who Is The Presenter?

For the past 10 years, Dr. Jason Snow has been one of the leaders in the field of teacher education by conducting research on the effectiveness of STET^® and also on how to be effective in teaching the material to teachers in various school settings. He has implemented this material in adolescent day treatment centers, long-term residential facilities, as well as school settings. Regardless of the challenging settings, Dr. Snow has a proven track record of being successful in incorporating this material with children and adolescents. Even in settings such as long-term residential facility where previous critics of Adlerian psychology said the material would not be effective, Dr. Snow has demonstrated that the concepts are just as powerful and effective as in a “regular” school setting. He has been asked to present his research and experience across the United States and has published numerous research articles in peer-reviewed journals over the past decade.

The Program

CONNECTED is proud to offer STET^® to schools and other organizations throughout Georgia . Our STET^® Classes are unique because of the modifications that Dr. Snow has made to the program.

The course can be designed in several formats, however, the two most popular have been:

School-based training = 3 days (not necessarily consecutive days) where the entire school is trained (teachers, paraprofessionals, school counselors, and administration). This is the most popular because it facilitates a change in the ‘corporate culture’ of the targeted school and supports all school personnel to make the paradigm shift. Total program length = 18- 20 Contact Hours.

Class format = Classes can be set up to take place weekly (or every other week) after school over a period of several weeks (the length of each class will determine the number of classes). This format is typically chosen by schools that do not have training days left in the school year to facilitate the School-based training format. Total program length = 18 – 20 Contact Hours.

How We Are Different:
