Learn at Your Own Pace

25 engaging video lessons across 7 units, plus quizzes after each unit to reinforce your understanding. Fit professional development into your schedule—not the other way around.

About the Course

Teaching is hard. You care deeply about your students' growth, but traditional methods often fall short. Students sit passively, forget what they learned, and struggle to apply knowledge in the real world. ROOTS changes that. This course teaches you how to create Active, Deep Learner eXperiences (ADLX)—learning environments where students actively participate, reflect deeply, and transform their understanding into measurable performance gains. Developed by NAMA Foundation, ROOTS gives you practical, research-backed strategies you can implement immediately. You'll explore how to design and facilitate learning experiences that honor each student's unique journey, and you'll learn coaching and mentoring techniques that support real transformation. Whether you're looking to refresh your practice or completely reimagine your classroom, ROOTS equips you with the frameworks, language, and confidence to lead deeper learning. Your students are ready. Are you?
