Services & Offerings
Tripod activities are grounded in a comprehensive conceptual framework designed by Ron Ferguson. The framework emphasizes the importance of an instructional "tripod" of content knowledge, pedagogical skills and relationships. While the Tripod Project supports a range of activities, our goal is always to strengthen all three legs of the tripod. We bring a set of tested tools and services to our work with schools and districts, but we always customize our approach for each client.

The Tripod Project offers consulting services and ongoing support in the following areas:
- Tripod Survey Assessments for student, teachers, and parents
