What We Offer
The ERWC (Expository Reading and Writing Course) is a college preparatory, rhetoric-based English language arts course for grade 12 designed to develop academic literacy (advanced proficiency in rhetorical and analytical reading, writing, and thinking). The ERWC also offers curriculum for grades 7-11, with four extended modules per grade level.
2020 ERWC Leadership Conference Postponed until 2021
Have you been using ERWC 3.0 in your classroom or work with educators? If so, we want to hear from you! The 2020 ERWC Leadership Conference will showcase best practices for effective implementation of the new curriculum. We especially invite teachers who have been using ERWC 3.0 modules to share what they’ve learned about how to make the curriculum and its pedagogies work for their students.
Please visit the link below for a description of the proposal requirements and submission process. Proposals are due April 1, 2020.
