| Ripple Effects for Kids is a research-based tool to help children build resilience and handle the non-academic issues that get in the way of school success. 140 engaging, interactive, reading-independent tutorials build key social-emotional abilities that are more connected to school success than IQ: self-understanding, empathy, impulse control, management of feelings, assertiveness, decision-making and connection to community. The result is kids who know themselves, stand up for their beliefs, solve problems, feel for and connect with diverse others -- and do well in school. |

Ripple Effects for Kids can be used with groups for character education, personal safety training, and overall academic success. It can be used for individualized intervention/guidance on behavior problems (bullying, talking back, lying, fighting), health (obesity, tobacco) and mental health issues (sad, shy, lonely, divorce etc.) |

The software uses Ripple Effects Whole Spectrum Learning System to provide research-based, cognitive, behavioral and affective strategies in engaging formats. Peer modeling, true stories, media analysis, journaling, self-profiles and games to assess content become a catalyst for communication with trusted adults, while preserving fidelity to proven effective methods. |

A built in management system tracks student progress and allows implementers to delete topics they consider inappropriate, solving a problem that has long vexed print publishers. |

Because
each program has so much content, especially audio and video, each
needs a lot of storage memory on your computer hard drive. That's
likely to be the toughest requirement to meet.
All products work on Macintosh and PC computers.
System Requirements
- MAC OS 7.6 or higher, MAC OS X is in native mode (i.e., not Classic)
- Windows 95, 98, 2000, XP PCs>
- 64 MB RAM
- 1.3 GB recommended for Teens and Kids, 700 MB for Coach for Implementers
- SB16 Compatible sound card, speakers
- 6x CD-ROM or DVD drive
- color monitor
- QuickTime 6 or higher (included)
Note:
There is an option to set up the program if you have only 32 MB of free
hard drive space, but we don't recommend it: it makes playback very
difficult. Only do this if you are previewing the program in advance of
making an investment in a bigger hard drive! DO NOT try to use it this
way with students.
To access the Ripple Effects web site:
