The IEW program is based on the belief that good writing is not something that can be taught through grammar drills or rote memorization. Instead, it must be developed through practice and feedback. IEW students learn to write by writing, and they receive regular feedback from their teachers and peers.
IEW courses teach students how to:
Develop a clear and concise thesis statement
Organize their ideas into a logical and coherent structure
Use evidence to support their claims
Use language effectively and persuasively The IEW program has been proven to improve students' writing skills. Studies have shown that IEW students write more coherently, use more complex sentences, and develop better arguments than students who do not participate in the program.
IEW provides the skills and tools necessary to prepare students for college and a variety of careers.
