Introducing the WL Curriculum Framework This free professional learning opportunity is a series of connected virtual workshops designed for educators and leaders who are interested in learning more about the World Languages Curriculum Framework and collaborate on the Framework implementation. Now is the time to renew your RIFLA membership or become a new member. Join or renew now and your membership is valid until September of 2024! We at RIFLA promote language. We understand that language has power and should be used to unify and not to attack or marginalize. We also believe that the racial and ethnic diversity of the United States is a force that does not weaken but instead enriches us as a country. We condemn the use of hateful language and violence against any person or community based on race or ethnicity and stand in solidarity with all victims of hate crimes and bigotry. RIFLA seeks RI language educators to serve on our subcommittees!
