1. Pedagogical Shifts to Instructional Strategies: The Role of Writing with Literacy in the Content Areas Self-Regulated Strategy Development (SRSD)

2. Learning Objectives: Articulate the role of writing in a Tennessee Academic Standards-aligned classroom. Apply instructional strategies to standards-aligned classroom practice.

3. Questions to think about while you’re learning this topic: Define high-quality writing. What does that look like in your classroom? What is SRSD? How can you use SRSD in your classroom? Can this strategy be used across all grade levels and in all content areas? How?

4. SRSD The Self-Regulated Strategy Development approach is designed to help students learn, use, and adopt the strategies used by skilled writers. This approach integrates all aspects of authentic writing skills into writing instruction.   Quoted from http://www.thinksrsd.com/self-regulated-strategy-development/ What does Self -Regulated Strategy Development look like in a classroom? Self -Regulated Strategy Development follows a 6 stage gradual release of responsibility model. Students first receive explicit supportive instruction in how to carry out each phase of the writing process, with a community-centered and meaning-based approach to writing instruction. Children progressing through these stages become increasingly independent writers .

5. Stage 1: Activate and Develop Background Knowledge 
 Build enthusiasm for genre Develop background knowledge (and pre-skills ) Read and discuss models Teach genre vocabulary

6. Teach strategy (mnemonics ) Map out models with graphic organizers Review and repair poor models, together then alone Establish benefits of strategy use Explore when / where to use strategy (generalization) Stage 2: Discuss It


7. Stage 3: Model It 
 Introduce self- talk Introduce focused model think alouds Students personalize and record self- statements Introduce collaborative writes Practice self and peer scoring with scales Begin graphing Introduce goal setting

8. Stage 4: Memorize It 
 Internalize strategy via mnemonics Internalize personalized self-statements

9. Stage 5: Collaborative Practice Continue collaborative writing experiences Support students’ strategy use, fading support when ready Support self-regulation, fading support when ready Provide feedback on writing and self-regulation Fade prompting strategy use and self-regulation

10. Stage 6: Independent Use 
 Students use strategies and self-regulate independently Fade overt self-instruction to covert (“in your head” ) Ensure transfer and buy in to strategies and self-regulation

12. High-quality writing skills…preparing your students for college and career Quoted from https://teal.ed.gov/tealGuide/strategydev Writing researchers identified what good writers do: plan, monitor, evaluate, revise, and manage the writing process. They also observed struggling writers who do not perform these same steps when writing and produce lower-quality writing. For example, proficient writers engage in extensive planning, in which they set goals about their topic and audience, generate ideas, and use their knowledge of genres or text structure to organize ideas. When they revise, they think about their audience and the substance of what they have written. They apply evaluation criteria to identify problems and opportunities for improvement. SRSD is an approach that integrates these high-quality writing skills into classroom instruction .
