Blog # 7 Why Professional Writing will be Important to my Job



Writing professionally is an important part of being teacher because a lot of communication with students' parents is done via email, or letter home. A teacher is also responsible for producing her own assignments and in doing such she will model the type of writing she expects to see from her students. Every day teachers need to write on the board, on student assignments and interact professionally with writing. Writing is a reflection of who the teacher is and the time and effort spent into crafting words shows in every written word. Imagine a teacher sending a letter home to parents that is filled with spelling errors and grammatical oversights. It would not be long before the parents would lose faith in that teacher's ability to impart the knowledge of the written word onto their children.

In a world full of text messaging, instant messaging and email the written word has become more important than ever to professionals. More frequently parents are unavailable by phone, but available via email, so teachers must be aware of how the written word reflects upon their professional image. A simple memo could be the difference between a positive or a negative relationship with parents and peers.
