Final Thoughts
The “We-Do” model of writing instruction has helped many teachers feel less overwhelmed about teaching writing; as well as given them the teaching methodologies they needed to ensure that all students can become independent writers. As we begin to think about returning to a better version of normal in our schools, I hope the “We-Do” model of instruction helps you to reflect upon your teaching practices and transform your writing instruction.
