Tools & Training
“We trained our whole school in DSRP and have seen students engaged in learning like never before." - Chris Dickens,Principal,2009 School Bell Award Winner
Based on over two decades of research, we provide high-impact training and powerful educational tools to teach higher-order thinking skills and standards-based curricula from the PreK to PhD level. We offer four levels of Ninja certification in the DSRP Method: white belt, yellow belt, red belt, and black belt.
Each training develops progressively more sophisticated skills in the DSRP Method, the DSRP visual mapping technique, and a tactile manipulative called ThinkBlocks. The skills you learn in our trainings will transform the way you teach and the way your students learn. This has lasting impacts on your classroom, school, or district including:
- Increased Teacher Effectiveness
- Planning, Teaching & Assessment (less work, higher impact, more fun)
- Standards/higher test scores across the curriculum (arts, science, mathematics, history, English, writing, literacy, social skills, communications, physical education, biology, etc)
