Ripple Effects offers three resources to support evaluation of our programs in your setting.

Built In, Interactive Assessment Tools

Ripple Effects products have built in assessment tools in the form of engaging, interactive exercises that test for concept mastery, using similar measures to those in validated print instruments. Results are saved and student progress can be tracked simply by clicking on their names.

Major Support for Research Projects

Ripple Effects provides - at no cost - a basic structure and protocol for measuring outcomes in valid and reliable ways. For a fee, we provide an evaluation instrument tailored to your specific need, or help you locate one to license. We offer a thirty per cent discount to sites willing to participate in a formal outcome evaluation of our products.
