Project CRISS, CReating Independence through Student-owned Strategies, fills a striking need in our educational system. It is the goal of Project CRISS to help students better organize, understand, and retain course information.  Teachers trained in the Project CRISS strategies will be able to teach their students "how to learn" so they can become more active, lifelong learners. Project CRISS  level one training is offered to schools along with follow-up services designed to foster the classroom and school-wide implementation of the CRISS strategies.
