Our Impact

Roots ConnectED uses a research-based Anti-Bias Education Framework to develop curriculum, culture, and learning environments centered in equity and justice. Our framework grew out of experiences leading in anti-bias classrooms and seeing its tools in action. Today it works in process with our Tree of Love; together forming a foundation to all our professional development.
