According to recent studies, over half of students in 4th, 8th, and 12th grades lack the ability to write proficiently on standardized writing assessments. Revealed in recent studies is that many students enter college and are unable to write at the college level, as well as enter the workforce lacking writing skills. The problem is that most grade level students lack writing proficiency, and there is a gap in the literature about the perceptions and experiences elementary teachers have with teaching the writing process. The perceptions faculty have about the writing process may influence their willingness and ability to implement the practice in their classroom. The purpose of this basic qualitative study was to understand the perceptions and experiences third- and fourth-grade teachers have with teaching the writing process, and what they feel they need to be good teachers of the writing process. Six third- and fourth-grade teachers teaching in a southeastern state within the United States were interviewed for this study. Semistructured virtual interviews were conducted through Zoom software. Key findings included (a) differentiation of teaching method, (b) teaching writing was viewed as a challenging experience, (c) impact on student growth, (d) teacher qualities, (e) writing assessments, (f) professional development, (g) self-assessment, (h) time management, and (i) belief in the importance of writing. The study has the potential to promote positive social change by understanding more about teachers' feelings and experiences associated with teaching writing and revealed better methods for implementing writing models, improved professional development, and increases in student writing ability.
