Professional Development: **Featured Event**

Expository Reading and Writing - FREE

Participants will be trained in the ERWC materials developed through the CSU system to increase skillsets in decontructing expository text to make meaning. The curriculum is designed to support students who are on the path for college but lack the necessary skills to make meaning of expository text and then write about it, which is essential to success at the college level.
