The prestigious CODiE Awards recognizes companies producing the most innovative education technology products across the country and around the world.
“It is an incredible honor to receive this recognition from SIIA,” said John Ray-Keil, CEO, Ripple Effects. “Each and every day, our team dedicates itself to building resources and tools focused on helping learners at all stages, from preK-12, develop vital skills that will serve them in the classroom and in life. We appreciate the acknowledgement of our efforts.”
Bouncy’s Ready to Learn Resilience program is anchored by Breathing Bouncy, an animatronic service dog with a prosthetic limb that promotes a character-driven, play-based approach to building resilience and a readiness to learn for primary learners in grades PreK-1. Bolstered by evidence-based research, the program features both physical and digital elements designed to help meet the emotional needs of young learners by deescalating disruptive behavior. Bouncy assists in addressing the root causes of these behaviors, helping children learn to self-calm and self-regulate so they are ready to engage in productive learning activities. The program also includes a comprehensive set of tools including trading cards, music videos and coloring books that help to address key growth skills like empathy, self-confidence and safety.
