Most educators are voluble but rarely write. We, educators, motivate our students to think aloud, reflect, and write their thoughts, but do we, teachers, overlook our own writing and hesitate to write? A majority are experts in their field, but when it comes to writing, they feel uncomfortable.
As I reflect. Hesitation is not always a lack of writing skills; it is a combination of different perspectives. Many excellent teachers feel a fear of judgment, fear of digital visibility, and language insecurity. Others believe that only researchers and authors write, but in education, it has become a professional identity.
You don't have to be an academic writer to express your voice. Anyone's reflections can help others grow.
Start with reflection, not with expertise.
