Writing as a teacher

When I conducted my interview I learned a great deal and many things that I knew, but never would have thought about were brought to my attention. The most important writings for a teacher to do are things like grant proposals, letter in the form of emails mostly. I was also told that one of the most important ways to prepare for this field is to practice with spelling and grammar because it parents feel very uncomfortable if their child's teachers are not competent. My interviewee also stated that the best way to evaluate your writing as a teacher is to have it peer reviewed, the ease at which your students can understand what is expected of them, or the ease of the parents to understand your communications with them. Writing as a teacher is more extensive than I thought, thats why I think an interview like this is helpful. Even though my interviewee said that practice with spelling and grammar is the most important thing to do in order to prepare for the field, I think it is having as much contact with people in your desired profession and asking as many questions as possible.
