You may not realize that our online community resource just received a facelift! Have you seen it this year? Our online community is your one-stop shop for modules, teaching resources, and ideas from colleagues. https://writing.csusuccess.org/
What’s new?
Member Information: You can now update your school site, email address, and password. Just select “My Account” on the right and then click the “edit” tab to change information. Make sure you provide current information to receive bulletin updates.
New Curriculum Buttons: Modules are now easier to navigate, making it easier to find the one you are looking for. They are listed alphabetically by groups: Portfolio, Books, Dramas, and Issues.
New Middle School Modules: Modules for grades 6-8 are now available under the Curriculum tab.
Discussion Boards: Like the modules, discussion boards have also received new buttons and are organized similarly to the modules. You can easily subscribe to any and all discussion boards. Subscribing to discussion boards will prompt notifications informing you of new posts. They are being monitored to make sure posts receive timely responses. Since the recent update, all subscriptions have been nullified. If you subscribed to any of the boards prior to December 9th, 2025, you will need to subscribe again.
Within many discussion boards, you can find alternative sources, including suggested supplements, videos, and slide decks shared by your colleagues. You aren’t teaching these modules in a vacuum! You have a community of teachers who can assist you in developing current, effective strategies for your classroom.
Teaching Resources: The list of teaching resources has been updated and includes many helpful documents, including helpful resources such as the “High Impact Strategies Tool Kit to Support Students in ERWC Classrooms.” This resource offers a range of activities for each area of the ERWC template that teachers can use to vary instruction in their classrooms.
Important reminder:
Materials published under ERWC are licensed to specific individuals and institutions that have adopted ERWC and have agreed to receive training in how to use them. You are reminded not to share these materials with colleagues who have not yet received ERWC training. Please also do not upload these materials to any online platforms that are not password-protected.
Throughout the year, numerous professional learning opportunities are available and can be found under the “Events” link on the community website. Many of these sessions are open to educators who are not ERWC certified. Please encourage colleagues unfamiliar with ERWC to complete the free 24-hour professional learning required to access the curriculum and all areas of the ERWC website. Once completed, they will have full access to all materials.
