Why obtain accreditation from the Institute for Excellence in Writing (IEW)? Accreditation assures parents and learners that their instructor will teach from obtaining practical experience. Obtaining accreditation has the instructor completing the exact units she teaches her students. This means the instructor is reading source texts from each unit, creating key word outlines (KWO), writing rough drafts, adding stylistic techniques to paragraphs, and typing that final draft. Likewise, the instructor is experiencing the ups and downs of writing a great paper. Most importantly the instructor will understand when a learner struggles to comprehend a concept or produce a paper they are proud of. Accreditation will provide practical experience which can be shared with students.

It’s summertime! &nbsp;Why should I enroll my child in a summer writing class? The summer is a great time to have your learner continue practicing those writing skills they acquired throughout the school year. Use the summertime to have learners write about activities that interest them. Go on a nature walk, come home and write about the things you experienced on that walk. Did you observe a beautiful blue jay? Draw a picture of the blue jay and write a short paragraph about the blue jay. Even more, enroll in a short summer writing class, which will continue assisting the struggling writer. Limit the "I’m bored" conversation. A summer writing class replaces those “I am bored” times with a writing assignment. Lets face it, writing is an all-year-round activity. Most important, don’t forget to ask for those summer discounts on classes.

Summer Boot Camp Writing Classes

My students call me Mrs. Moffett and I teach Jr. High and High School writing classes online. I also offer one-on-one classes for elementary, Jr. H. and High School students. The curriculum I use is the Institute for Excellence in Writing (IEW) program. I am a certified IEW instructor which means I have completed the same lessons I teach my students. Plus, I have met the standards IEW set for their instructors. So, when I tell my students I understand the difficulties they have with a lesson I actually do because to obtain my credentials I had to complete the units they are working on. With IEW students are taught how to include IEW stylistic techniques into their essays as well as how to structure their paragraphs. Truly, I know the struggle with trying to apply an -ly adverb or www.asia clause to a paragraph. Without a doubt the [4] -ing sentence opener is a challenge to add to essays but with practice can be mastered. I too have struggled with adding the [4] sentence opener to an essay. And, what about those decorations. Applying decorations to writing assignments, students are given an opportunity to bring their essays to life with alliterations, rhetorical questions, or 3sss (three short staccato sentences). Yes, incorporating decorations into essays can be a challenge but you feel good when you apply a great decoration to a paragraph. I know I do. Teaching IEW classes online has been a blessing. Online classes allow me to reach multiple students across the world. I have fond memories of students I have taught in Australia, Canada, England, Haiti, Japan, and across the United States of America. I am Mrs. Moffett, and I teach IEW classes online.

Mrs. Moffett and Online Writing Classes

Online classes take a serious commitment from the student and parent. Basically, my online classes meet once a week. This involves learners meeting in class with the teacher once a week and completing lessons on their own until we meet again in online class. My biggest hurdle with learners is getting them to understand that you must spread your work out over several days. Do not wait until the day before class to complete your homework. Reviewing and completing assignments throughout the week assists with mastering concepts and give you the opportunity to submit quality work, especially with writing assignments. There are learners who take my advice and work on assignments daily and this shows in the work they turn in. There are also learners who wait till the last minute to work on assignments and this also shows in the work they turn in. Honestly, I have noticed that learners who spend a good amount of time on assignments obtain higher grades than those who do not invest enough time in completing assignments. I have also noticed that students who do not spend enough time on assignments receive lower grades, but when given the opportunity to re-do an assignment receive a much better grade. When those students that rush their assignments decide to spend the extra time on completing assignments, they then increase their grade significantly.Parents are also a key factor with students having success with online classes. In my opinion learners with parents who make sure their learner keeps on track with assignments also receive higher grades. Yes, there are learners who take control of completing and correctly submitting assignments without parent assistance. Is this the norm, not from what I have experienced. It must be stated that online classes can lead to learners being able to take control of their learning. This could lead to gaining time management skills, working independently, and enhancing self-discipline skills. The above mentioned skills and parent involvement with learners taking online classes leads to success with online classes.

The Student and Online Classes

Traveling and Online ClassesAm I limited to one location while I teach online classes? Absolutely not! So far I have taught my online classes in the states of Texas (my home base), Alabama, Georgia, and Illinois. Being able to travel allows me to visit with family and friends while still doing what I love. And that is teaching IEW classes to my learners. Looking forward to teaching classes from New York, Canada, or a variety of tropical locations. Presently, contemplating what the new school year will hold in regard to taking my online classes on the road. Regarding my students they have completed online classes with me while in the car driving to an activity or while spending time with the grandparents or while on a family vacation. Now, that is commitment. Yes, traveling and online classes can benefit both the teacher and learner. Just think some years back I was against online classes because I loved teaching in the classroom. What I didn’t know was that I would be able to take my classroom to various students around the world. Wow!
