Registration is still open!

Register by Friday, June 12 to take advantage of extended Early Bird discounts.

For many teachers, the school year leaves little room for the kind of writing that helps us notice, reflect, and connect.

Our first Teacher Feature! A series celebrating the educators in our community who are bringing IWT practices into their classrooms.

In the July Weeklong Workshop Inquiry into Essay, Andrew Borneman, an English teacher at St. Paul’s School for Boys, remembers the excitement of discovering a world of new practices to engage students.
