Jeffery E. Frieden Podcast

Big Shifts in ERWC!

Welcome to the Teaching ERWC Podcast! This is officially our inaugural episode, and there is a lot to cover.

First, my name is Jeffery E. Frieden, an ERWC teacher at Hillcrest High School in the Alvord Unified School District. That’s it, just a teacher. Okay, I’m creating content for ERWC, so maybe not just a teacher. But other than a few clever networking opportunities I took using social media, I am just a guy trying to make his way through the modules.

In this episode, you will hear from Jennifer Fletcher, head of the ERWC Steering Committee. She lays out the vision for the future of ERWC, as well as the months ahead. Even though I have been teaching ERWC for a decade, Jennifer shared some details about ERWC that surprised me:

  • Over 15,000 teachers have been trained in ERWC
  • The curriculum in not only taught in California, but Washington state and Hawaii too
  • Leaders in the ERWC have presented on this curriculum internationally

Listen in anticipation about all the professional learning opportunities that are on the way and for an invitation to get involved.

ERWC Audio Experiment

Before There Was a Podcast…

There was an idea to upgrade the professional learning offered by the Expository Reading and Writing Course (ERWC). This included a podcast, something members of the ERWC community could consume while on the go while adding a personal touch from those creating the content.

To kick things off, Jeffery E. Frieden interviewed Chris Street. Jeffery is a high school English/Language Arts teacher in the Alvord Unified School District in Riverside, California, where he has been teaching ERWC for the past 10 years. Chis is a faculty member of California State University, Fullerton, though Chris has also taught middle and high school as well.

As ERWC has been transitioning from version 2.0 to 3.0, this experimental episode (of what would eventually become The Teaching ERWC Podcast), covered adapting the curriculum to California’s 2020 stay-at-home order and how, really, ERWC has always been about adaptation and innovation in order to best serve the students in any ERWC teacher’s community.
