Thorny Issues

Modern administrators face a host of thorny questions that in previous generations did not have to be addressed.  They include: 
  1. How do you address potentially controversial content without dividing the community?
     
  2. How do you address the sensitive issue of cultural competence without blame or shame?
     
  3. How do you reverse disproportionality in discipline rates, special education assignments, drop out rates, and overall academic achievement? 

  4. How do you reduce legal exposure for sexual harassment or bias offenses that occur on school property?
Ripple Effects is responsive to all of these concerns. A database structure allows administrators a data management system that allows administrators to delete content they feel is inappropriate to a particular audience; private tutoring on sensitive issues related to ethnicity and class; specific interventions for sexual harassment and bias activity, and a multi-level approach to reversing disproportionality are part of the Ripple Effects Whole Spectrum Intervention System.
