Respecting ourselves and others through education and dialogue
Supporting educators working with Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic students and promoting cultural diversity in education.
What we do
Reimagining Education
Teaching, learning and leading for a racially just society.
At Rooted Training our focus is pedagogical and curricular. Rooted training workshops provide opportunities for educators to explore strategic areas around equity and inclusion.
Our training supports educators to strengthen their classroom practices by focussing on educational equity, student engagement, assessment and outcomes.
Rooted Training create and deliver training to educators to support the learning of children and young people with English as an Additional Language (EAL) across all key stages in school.
This has included working closely with parents and the wider community to enable EAL pupils to develop positive identities so they feel equipped to deal with learning challenges.
Dedicated to Young People's Empowerment
Our team has a wealth of knowledge and experience of working with Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic children including empowering practitioners through providing coaching and training.
We are a dedicated group of individuals who collectively have over 50 years of experience in ensuring that pupils with English as an additional language (EAL) are empowered to achieve the best outcomes possible.
We are passionate about ensuring these children meet their potential. As some Local Authorities do not provide this service to education, we have decided to offer this provision to schools.
Our Mission
Our mission is to inspire and support inclusive and reflective teaching approaches that create engaging learning experiences for all students.
We realise our mission by:
• Training staff in best practices for teaching students who have English as an additional language (EAL), including lesson planning and assessment
• Providing information on the value of diversity with an awareness of multiculturalism and cultural competency within the context of education
Workshops
