El Ed 356 Srsd Presentation

Over half of fourth grade students in the United States do not have adequate writing skills to meet classroom demands. The National Assessment of Educational Progress found that three out of four students only partially master the necessary writing skills for effective communication. Self-Regulated Strategy Development instruction is an effective way to teach struggling writers in elementary classrooms to become better writers through more complex and higher quality writing. SRSD uses instruction that fosters self-regulation skills like goal-setting, self-assessment, and managing the writing environment.
