The Roots Center

where learning takes root

An inclusion program weaving progressive, project-based learning and individualized, evidence-based intervention within the school day.

Program Features

Individualized learning plan  Evidence-based interventions  Quarterly progress reports and family conferences to share data and progress  One-on-one and small group sessions  “Push-in” support in the classroom  Integrated team approach with classroom teachers

 

We serve students with language-based learning disabilities, building learner agency and autonomy through curiosity, empowerment, and joy. Our integrated approach provides individualized intervention and support in partnership with inquiry-based, anti-bias curriculum so that all students can lead with their strengths and build a positive identity as they grow academically. 

 

On a day-to-day basis, this looks like an inclusion program with students spending the majority of their time in class with their peers.  

Students receive one-to-one intervention sessions for two hours per week, and small group support sessions 1-2 times a week, which occur in a private learning space. Their learning specialist joins their classroom for push-in support, and works in partnership with the classroom teacher to plan and implement instruction and support the student’s transference of skills.
