ROOCARA’S FOUNDER
Dorothy Clarke
For more than 20 years in mainstream and special education, Dorothy Clarke saw how differently children learn. A child might progress confidently in maths while needing more time with reading. She also saw that children often became more engaged when lessons connected with their interests, families and everyday lives.
“I spent that time watching capable children struggle, not because they couldn’t learn, but because the traditional one-size-fits-all learning approach doesn’t work for every child.”
Dorothy created and adapted materials to make learning more relevant to individual children. It made a meaningful difference, but preparing personalised resources for every child was difficult to sustain. Parents also sought additional support outside school. As both a teacher and a parent, Dorothy also understood how difficult it can be for families to know how best to support learning at home.
That challenge became the idea behind Roocara: a platform designed to bring Dorothy’s thoughtful, individual approach to more children by shaping learning around each child’s level, interests and pace.
