Resources offered include disk-based, rich media content, plus web-based access to additional resources, from class room posters to individual treatment plans.
How it works
The program is comprised of 136 multi-media tutorials (with video true stories from teachers) organized into three modules. The lessons can be accessed on a “need to know,” time critical basis, or can be completed in sequence. Certification is available from Ripple Effects for completion. Resources offered include disk-based, rich media content, plus web-based access to additional resources, from classroom posters to individual treatment plans. Using any of the three modules, trainers can lead implementers through a pre-determined scope and sequence; individual professional staff can use it on their own to get up and get going fast, or to find quick solutions to immediate concerns.
Module I: Strengthening Your Leadership: 48 tutorials/12 contact hours. Personal transformation through mastery of key social-emotional abilities. See the Scope and Sequence.
Module II: Managing Diverse Learners: 29 tutorials/7 contact hours. Addressing learning, behavioral, social, cultural issues that challenge students and teacher alike. See the Scope and Sequence.
