Roots & Wings
Micro Education Workbook

Our workbook will help you brainstorm and decide on the elements you will need to develop and start your micro-education program. The lesson modules in the course will align with sections in the workbook and both will support the development of your program and the materials you will need to run it.

13 Templates for Creating Your Documentation!

We spent years refining the community, framework and documentation for our education program. From registration forms and parent manuals, to program policies, job descriptions and contracts. We have converted all of these forms into templates, to save you 100's of hours in the process of creating your program. 
We provide Word versions of the templates we use in our own program

13 Formatted Templates, Including:

Parent Handbook

Our parent handbook is been invaluable. It is the first document we send families to communicate our program's vision, ethos and what our program is and is not. It also covers logistics, expectations of families, policies and registration process. It allows families to know if the program is something they are still interested in and aligned with.

Parent Guide

The purpose of this guide is to make the day-to-day of the program run as smoothly as possible for enrolled students and their families. It outlines key information for families to know to help the mentors and children have successful days, as well as the expectations of families.

Registration Form

Our registration form contains all the basic information for each child including emergency contact information and alternative pick up contacts. It outlines our probationary period and challenging behaviours policy, additional policies, and an outline of membership fees.

Mentor Hiring Documents

After several revisions our mentor job description communicates clearly what the ideal candidate would embody, as well as information about hours, payment, and application process. We also provide Mentor interview questions, references questions and sample contracts.

Budget Framework & Scenarios

We provide an Excel budget that utilizes example budget income and expenses assumptions. Make modifications based on your program elements and you will have a functioning budget with little effort.

Emergency Policies & Liability

Our emergency protocols outline our procedure for various potential emergencies. We also included a child protection policy that we use and our informed consent and release of liability form. 

Value of this course - 1 year access for only $199

Over $1000 saved to create and administer your program

When we created our local nature education program, there was endless trial and error, assessing and redirecting. We have taken the wisdom we gained through this process and from our almost three years of successful operation and created a course to share with you. This course will provide short cuts for planning and documentation creation, and also ensure you don't make the same mistakes we made! It will save you thousands of dollars in saved time and effort.

1 Year unlimited online support



We know there will be many questions pop up while moving through the modules of the course. We offer unlimited support through the community page of the course to make sure all of your questions are answered. 

Easy to Follow and succinct lesson modules

We have formatted our modules to get you the most important information in a succinct way. We know you're busy! You can multi task while listening and none of the lesson videos are over 5 minutes.
