Building Community Across Lines of Difference
Watch our introductory video above!
Roots ConnectED empowers educators to create classrooms and schools where children and staff are community builders, critical thinkers, understand biases, and realize their capacity to create change. We are committed to each child seeing the humanity in one another.
Today more than ever educators need to be empowered to create a world we all aspire to live in - one that builds connections across lines of difference, one that recognizes the humanity in each individual, one that values justice as a precursor to unity.
We are the only training for educators that teaches the practical skills of community building and critical thinking needed for creating intentionally integrated, inclusive, anti-racist, and anti-bias school communities. Our training and support is for anyone who seeks ways to build community and connection across lines of differences in an era of racial and economic divisiveness.
Training and Support
As a national professional development organization, we are committed to supporting school communities through Coaching, Institutes, and Workshops that offer the teaching tools needed for culturally responsive teaching, progressive education, and ultimately equity in education:
Our Approach
The Roots ConnectED approach to professional development is grounded in anti-bias education. Centered in notions of identity and inclusion, we use our Anti-Bias Education framework which involves community building, critical literacy, Universal Design for Learning (UDL), representation, and social action to create growth and change in a school community as evidenced by a shift in culture and attitudes and deepened work through curriculum, instruction, and professional development.
