1. Use Ripple Effects software in some systematic way, to meet specific goals, usually for a minimum of seven contact hours over at least six weeks.

2. Have at least 60, and ideally 90, students participate in the study, in demographically matched groups of at minimum 30 students per group. If it's possible, a better option is to randomly assign participants to treatment and control conditions.

3. Collect pre - and post - data on such issues as discipline referrals, suspensions, truancy, incidents of fighting, grades, etc., and share it with Ripple Effects, or a statistician who can analyze it.

4. Make time and money available for staff training on using the program (normally $2,000 plus travel expenses) and, if necessary, on administering the evaluation.

5. Assist Ripple Effects in identifying raters and survey administrators to do pre/post tests and behavioral observations, if necessary.
