What is Rooted in the Classroom?
Rooted in the Classroom creates practical, engaging educational resources for agriculture teachers and other educators. Our products include classroom activities, curriculum units, seasonal lessons, FFA resources, and teaching tools designed to make lesson planning easier.
Are your resources digital or physical?
Most of our educational resources are digital downloads. You will receive downloadable files that you can save, print, and use in your classroom. No physical materials will be shipped unless a product listing specifically identifies a physical item.
How do I access my purchase?
After completing your purchase, you'll be directed to a download page where you can access your files. You'll also receive an email receipt with a link to your downloads.
What if I can't find my download email?
First, check your spam, junk, or promotions folder. Make sure you're checking the email address used during checkout. If you still can't locate your purchase, contact us for assistance.
Can I edit the resources?
Most resources are provided as printable PDFs and are not editable unless specifically stated in the product description. Check individual listings for format details before purchasing.
Can I share a resource with another teacher?
Purchases are licensed for use by one teacher in one classroom unless otherwise specified. Files may not be redistributed, shared with colleagues, or uploaded to shared drives accessible by other teachers. Additional licenses may be needed for multiple teachers or classrooms.
Can I upload resources to Google Classroom or another learning management system?
Resources may be shared with your own enrolled students through a secure, access-restricted classroom platform, provided the files are not publicly accessible or available to other teachers for reuse. Public posting or redistribution is not permitted.
Do you offer curriculum bundles?
Yes! Rooted in the Classroom offers individual lessons, curriculum units, and larger bundles. Bundles are a convenient way to purchase related resources together.
Can I purchase resources for my entire department or school?
Yes! If multiple teachers will be using the same resources, please contact us to discuss appropriate licensing and purchasing options.
Do you accept purchase orders?
We can work with schools and districts that need to purchase resources through an approved purchase order process. Visit our For Schools & Administrators page for more information.
What is your refund policy?
Because digital resources are delivered immediately, refunds are generally not available after purchase. If you experience a technical issue or believe you received an incorrect file, please contact us so we can help resolve the problem.
