Turn Your Class Into a Problem Solving Studio... That's RootEd in Community.
RootEd provides teachers, students, and schools in North Carolina everything they need to create learning experiences that integrate course content with community problem solving (and nothing they don’t).
What do you need?
RootEd was founded by North Carolina teachers who saw a need to create authentic learning experiences that work for students, teachers, families, and communities.
Curriculum & Tools
I need ideas for authentic work products, tools for student collaboration, and connections to North Carolina standards.
Co-Teaching & Collaboration
I need a co-teacher to help me plan, and an extra set of hands and eyes in the classroom.
Community Connections
I need to connect with local people and places to bring my project to life.
Communications & Stories
I need to capture my students’ learning and work as community problem solvers.
