About Roots ConnectED
Roots ConnectED is the only training for educators that teaches the practical skills of community building and
critical thinking needed for creating intentionally integrated and inclusive school communities. It is for anyone
who seeks ways to build community and connection across lines of differences in an era of racial and economic
divisiveness.
Roots ConnectED gives educators the tools to encourage deep connection among children not despite of their
differences, but through honoring them. We know this work is hard and on-going and we value the process.
We also believe that, to do this work well, we must approach it with love, patience, and a commitment to
ongoing work.
Roots ConnectED aims to maximize its impact and broaden its reach by forging relationships with local and national organizations who are equally committed to integration and inclusion. Its vision is to be a leading voice in social justice educational practice.
