Instead of submitting a copy of your teaching certificate with your application, you may submit verification that you are matriculated in a certification program (e.g., letter of acceptance, letter from advisor).
Expository writing is writing that seeks to explain, illuminate or 'expose' (which is where the word 'expository' comes from). This type of writing can include essays, newspaper and magazine articles, instruction manuals, textbooks, encyclopedia articles and other forms of writing, so long as they seek to explain.
The main purpose of expository text is to inform or describe what the story or book is about, so when the student reads they are understanding what is being read better. They can use this technique forever when reading and comprehening.
