The N-RAIS project, and the strategies developed within it are relevant to all initiatives that aim to foster independent learning, thinking skills and emotional resilience.
The long term aim of the N-RAIS project is ‘to help young people become more intelligent, confident and emotionally balanced in order to recognise, pursue and achieve their potential’.
‘N-RAIS had a huge effect on my teaching and the way I teach my class. My pupils are better able to learn independently, they ask better questions, they give more complete answers and they talk about learning with their peers. It makes me realise how much more they can learn than I had previously assumed.’
