Software for Staff

Ripple Effects for Staff provides “just in time” professional development for teachers, counselors and other school personnel. More than 1600 multi-media screens comprise 136 multi-media tutorials, which include Video True stories from dozens of teachers. 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. The program has also been accredited by Long Island University, and is currently being reviewed by Teacher’s College, as the core of Dr. Robin Stern’s on-line course on Educational Leadership through Social-Emotional Competence. It can be completed for graduate credit, upon payment of additional fees. 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.

Module III: Making Programs Work:The nuts and bolts of successful implementation with 57 interactive tutorials/14 contact hours. See the Scope and Sequence.

System Requirements for Ripple Effects Software

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:

Modem speed of at least 28.8 Kbytes/second.
