Discipline and Truancy Software

Discipline & Truancy

Ripple Effects for Teens addresses 70+ discipline and truancy issues.

Surveys from across the United States have shown the three main concerns of principals are truancy, fighting and discipline problems. Many teachers leave the profession due to frustration with discipline problems in the classroom. Relate social learning software enables both targeted intervention in discipline issues, and skill training in areas that can reduce these problems.
