Writing for Education
Good writing skills are essential to an educator. Teachers write to students, to parents, to grant sources, to administrators, and to community agencies. They write to plan, to organize, and to deliver effective instruction. They write about students, about teaching, and about ideas. A teacher’s ability to write well is critical to her reputation as a competent professional. Perhaps most important, a teacher who writes well can effectively promote good writing skills in her students.
The Education Department at Columbia College has designed these Web pages to support both teacher candidates and divergent learning graduate students as they develop their own writing skills and as they prepare to teach their students how to write well.
