Reading in the Rockies – Two Days of Learning, Collaboration, Joy, and Relaxation!

Since the first conference in 1991, Reading in the Rockies has aimed to provide a time and place for teachers, administrators, parents/guardians, and other professionals to learn, collaborate, and relax in a beautiful environment. Our speakers address relevant, essential and distinctive topics to build your capacity to support student success, improve your teaching skills, expand your thinking and continue to cultivate your knowledge with practical application strategies. This year is no exception, and we’re looking forward to seeing you all in Colorado Springs!

IDA-RMB strives to deepen your professional development with explicit instructional strategies to increase your learners’ academic success in both reading and writing. Much of our content will be relevant for students, conducted by professionals with classroom experience, and can be used right away.
