A collaborative magazine for ideas, inspiration and shared learning

Issue 7

The R.I.S.E. Magazine is a continued commitment from NetSupport to do its part to support the education community, as well as a way to celebrate the sector and provide an opportunity for voices within education to come together to inspire and empower.

Although this issue covers a wide range of topics, you will notice some common themes:

 

  • Classroom and leadership practice
  • Inclusion and accessibility
  • Mental health and wellbeing
  • Reviews and recommendations

As well as all that, you’ll find our favourite features have returned, including Recommended reads and one of my personal favourites, Pets’ corner!
