I worked closely with Rising Academies CEO Paul Skidmore on the development of this book. With the project, Rising Academies wanted to create a book for their staff that would showcase how their unique approach has helped them grow their network of innovative schools across West Africa. The finished volume needed to feel inspiring, joyful and speak to the values that drive every student and teacher at Rising Academies, while at the same time being a tool to teach new staff the mission, approach and principles of the Rising Way.
