Becoming an IEW® Instructor

IEW ® currently has three levels of accreditation. Two levels are awarded through a rigorous application process, and the third is open by invitation only. Registered Instructors are those who have completed our basic teacher’s training, Teaching Writing: Structure and Style Video Course with Seminar Workbook and have sent in their completed practicum assignments from the course. Certified Instructors have completed the requirements for Registered Instructor and have additionally evidenced experience teaching all nine structural units to students outside their immediate family in a school, tutoring, or cooperative setting. Teachers of Level A only may choose completion of Units 1–7. Accomplished Instructors have received a personal invitation and recommendation from Andrew Pudewa to become accredited at this highest level.
