The Interview
For the majority of my information, I interviewed my cousin, Jamie, who is a high school teacher at Lansing Christian High School.
She shared with me the different types of writing there is for teachers, as well as her experience with writing in the workplace.

Tone and Structure
Lesson Plans, tests, assignments: Clear and concise. Students want direct instructions that
are to the point. Tone should be appropriate to the students level: use
sensible language diction. Letters home to parents and emails:
Professional, but friendly. A teacher wants to appear approachable, yet hold their
authority.

Privacy Issues
When it comes to writing in education, teachers always need to be careful with their documents, since they contain information about minors. All writing that contains information about a
student should be kept confidential and filed privately.

Teachers who have Difficulty with Writing Might be hesitant or dread teaching it to their students if they
are struggling with writing. Teachers need to lead by example, and introduce writing as
fun and exciting to motivate the students: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItAcd_9_5-M
May reflect the school poorly. The school should be offering outside help to those teachers to
accommodate their writing skills. Lack Authority
When emails, letters, or reports have spelling and grammatical errors, the teacher may lose their authority in
what they are saying.
