RRVWP Book Club
This group meets regularly to enjoy great reads and great eats. Watch for announcements of their latest selection and meeting times.
RRVWP Professional Readings Group
This group meets monthly through the academic year and generally once during the summer to discuss the latest research on writing, reading, language arts, and teaching. Books are selected based on suggestions and interest of participating teachers. Teachers are welcome to join on a rotating basis. The RRVWP purchases the texts; in return teachers commit to reading and discussing the book with other teachers. The group often divides the reading over several meetings to foster time for reflection and, when applicable, application in the classroom between discussions. Watch for announcements on the latest selection and meeting times.

TCs, do you have a blog that you'd like to link to our site? Send your info to jessica.zerr@und.edu.
The links to the blogs below will take you out of the RRVWP site and into each individual's blog. Individuals are responsible for the content of the blogs and the content may not necessarily represent the views of the RRVWP. The RRVWP provides these links as a convenience to our teachers who may be interested in the writing lives of other teachers and may like to think about the role writing plays in our daily lives and our work.
