More reasons why teachers should write
According to the author:
- When teachers write with their students and expose them to the teacher’s own writing processes, students are more positive about literacy and teachers feel more positive about teaching writing.
- “Teachers who take their own writing seriously understand that students’ personal writing needs must be honored in the classroom, and they are vigilant in searching out ways to promote the development of a strong writing voice in each student” (p. 91).
