The RIWP Fall Conference theme is “Old School Literacy.” Step back to the 90’s with your baggy jeans, flannel shirts, bandanas, and combat boots in the pre-NCLB, pre-CCSS, pre-HQC, and pre-AI era. 

We are offering workshops in ELA, history/social studies, and science focused on interactive, culturally responsive, and joyful learning experiences. Explore what brought you to teaching, what makes you stay in the field, and what gives you the energy to keep going. 

Talk with colleagues about writing workshops, Dungeons and Dragons, using literature circles, seeing the wonders of the outdoors, and so much more. 

Join colleagues to explore what brought you to teaching and what keeps you going. Free food and merch!
