Do you have Ripple Effects for Teens – Rural in your school? This iPad version is an extension of the award-winning program that your school has licensed. There is no additional fee to extend your school license to this new platform.

Ripple Effects for Teens – Rural is a learner directed tool to solve personal problems – very serious ones, and everyday ones. It provides personalized guidance in more than 400 areas that affect student behavior, motivation, learning and connectedness, and protects students’ privacy at every step along the way. Students build cognitive, behavioral and affective skills linked to higher scores on resiliency assets, better behavior and higher grades. This version of the program meets the specific social and emotional needs of rural students, including a rural interface, tone and voice; as well as fifteen new tutorials that deal directly with life and death issues for young people in rural areas. From Sense of Place and After High School to Parent Drug Dealer and Witnessing Violence, Ripple Effects for Teens - Rural addresses both the surface concerns and the reasons underneath them to strengthen every student.

It makes teachers’ lives easier:
This reading-independent tool allows students to receive motivational counseling and direct behavioral supports as they build social-emotional competencies – without taking instructional time away from the rest of the class. Peer modeling, true stories, media analysis, journaling, interactive self-profiles and games to assess content mastery provide built-in, differentiated instruction.

A supplementary set of web-based tools makes it easy to track individual and group student progress.

It uses expert system technology:
Ripple Effects’ Whole Spectrum Learning Platform uses learners’ natural selection patterns to deliver to them the most relevant set of evidence-based practices for whatever concerns them. A huge library of content and engaging multimedia activities offers a system of integrated resources for culturally competent, truly personalized, tiered interventions to address non-academic factors in school and life success.

It works:
Ripple Effects for Teens is listed on the National Registry of Evidence-Based Programs and Practices (NREPP), sponsored by NIH as a comprehensive children’s mental health and substance abuse intervention. It has been shown to increase resiliency assets, decrease suspensions, absenteeism and behavioral referrals for Black, Latino and Caucasian students from traditional, alternative, charter and continuation schools in rural and urban settings. It has also been shown to boost GPA scores, especially among students most at risk of school failure. GPA is the single factor most correlated with going to college.
