RISE is a non-profit grant funded by the Tennessee Department of Education, Office of Special Education and housed at The University of Memphis. The RISE Project works collaboratively with local area schools providing technical assistance to improve educational practices in the areas of academics and behavior. Using data and research-based methods to drive our efforts, we strive to facilitate sustainable changes at the classroom, building and district levels.
