Research behind RISE

We are currently undertaking in-depth case studies into the use of RISE as an educational system alongside over 2000 settings across the world testing the system. 

The foundations of RISE are widely researched concepts, however. You can learn more on the pedagogy behind RISE in the articles and research journals below, whilst we work on finalising our own.
