  2. Complete the application and pay the $20 nonrefundable renewal application fee.

    The Unit 8 practicum assignment (KWO, rough draft, final draft) can be the same essay you submitted to become an accredited instructor, or you may rewrite the essay.

    The two graded student papers should be from a struggling or average student at the highest level that you teach. (This should not be your own child.) For example, if you teach Level A and Level B classes, submit two papers from a Level B student. If you teach Level A, Level B, and Level C classes, submit two papers from a Level C student. One graded paper should be from the beginning of the year, and the second paper should be from the end of the year.

  4. After you submit the completed Unit 8 practicum assignment and two graded student papers, the IEW Accreditation Team will evaluate them to ensure that all the requirements have been accurately completed. This process may take thirty to sixty days, and you may be requested to make changes. Upon approval, your accreditation as an Experienced IEW Instructor will be renewed for two years.
