Do not fill this in! === Writing within education and educational institutions === Formal education is the social context most strongly associated with the learning of writing, and students may carry these particular associations long after leaving school.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Wingate |first=Ursula |date=2012 |title='Argument!' helping students understand what essay writing is about |journal=Journal of English for Academic Purposes |volume=11 |issue=2 |pages=145β154|doi=10.1016/j.jeap.2011.11.001 |s2cid=73669683 }}</ref> Alongside the writing that students read (in the forms of textbooks, assigned books, and other instructional materials as well as self-selected books) students do much writing within schools at all levels, on subject exams, in essays, in taking notes, in doing homework, and in [[Writing assessment|formative and summative assessments]]. Some of this is explicitly directed toward the learning of writing, but much is focused more on subject learning.<ref>{{Cite book |last1=Klein |first1=Perry D. |title=Handbook of Writing Research |last2=Arcon |first2=Nina |last3=Baker |first3=Samanta |publisher=Guilford Press |year=2016 |isbn=978-1-4625-2243-9 |edition=2nd |location=New York |pages=245β246 |chapter=Writing to Learn}}</ref><ref name="Williams et al.

Students also receive institutional notices and regulations, sometimes to be shared with families. Students also may write [[teacher evaluations]] for use by teachers to improve instruction or by others reviewing quality of teacher instruction, particularly within higher education.{{citation needed|date=June 2023}} Writing also pervades schools and educational institutions in less visible and memorable ways.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Kinkead |first=Joyce A. |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/1285306363 |title=A writing studies primer |date=2022 |isbn=978-1-55481-531-9 |location=Peterborough, Ontario |pages=295β310 |oclc=1285306363}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |last=Murphy |first=James |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/744299034 |title=A short history of writing instruction : from ancient Greece to contemporary America |date=2012 |publisher=Routledge |isbn=978-0-415-89746-4 |edition=3rd |location=New York |oclc=744299034}}</ref> Since schools are typically hierarchically arranged bureaucracies, writing also circulates in the forms of notices and regulations that teachers receive from their supervisors and arrange their instruction according to district and state syllabi and regulations. Teachers often must produce and submit lesson plans or other information about their teaching. In primary and secondary education teachers may need to write notices or letters to parents about matters relating to their children's learning, school activities, or regulations. Within school hierarchies many memos, notices, or other documents may flow. National policies and regulations as elaborated by ministries or departments of education may also be of consequence. Additionally, research in the various subject areas and in educational studies may be attended to by educators in the classroom and higher bureaucratic levels. And of course, subject learning draws on the knowledge produced and authorized by disciplines.{{citation needed|date=June 2023}} Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
