Build Writing Confidence with the "Ready, Do, Done" Model: A Tip for Tomorrow from Stacey

In this episode, Stacey explores the "Ready, Do, Done" model by Sarah Ward and Kristen Jacobsen to help students with executive functioning challenges become confident writers. She discusses the importance of setting clear intentions and gathering necessary materials ("Ready"), breaking down tasks and using visual aids ("Do"), and celebrating accomplishments to boost confidence ("Done"). Practical tips for teachers are provided to support students in the writing workshop. The model's flexibility and potential to empower learners in all areas are highlighted. 

This episode builds on a previous discussion about task initiation and is part of a series on executive functioning in writing instruction.
