I have done two interviews (via email because it was more
convenient for both interviewees). One with an English teacher from my high
school who has been in the English education program for over 30 years,
teaching everything from basic grammar to British Lit. and creative writing.
She is a large part of my decision to become an English teacher. She did not do
a great job of elaborating on her answers but she did give me several good
quotes to work with. She emphasized the importance of writing in her career and
also how important it was for her students. She also gave good insight into her
own work. I also interviewed a first you English teacher in the JCPS. He gave
very elaborate answers to all of my questions, so I will probably be using his
answers more often than not. Since he recently graduated he talked about how
important writing was in his undergraduate program. He said he wrote countless
papers and became a much better writer. He also talked about how he enjoyed
most of the writing he did, with the exception of annotations and research
papers. Both people gave good insight into writing in the teaching profession,
specifically English, and gave me a good amount to go off of for my up coming
assignment.
