Book Details


The Responsibility Increase Self-Esteem Program (R.I.S.E.) is the hallmark of the Maplebrook experience. This program recognizes the fact that students who experience ongoing difficulty in learning frequently develop a chronic problem of poor self-concept. The carefully crafted incentive system provides external support for each student’s continued success. For more than 2 decades, the R.I.S.E. Program has been the vanguard of Maplebrook School's efforts to promote a healthy view of self, based upon real accomplishments. The success of the program has fostered numerous program innovations to support students such as character development, the acquisition of positive social skills and independence.
