Self-Regulated Strategy Development
Self-Regulated Strategy Development
Our literacy class will also be using the Self-Regulated Strategy Development (SRSD) approach to writing. It is an instructional approach designed to help students learn, use, and adopt the strategies used by skilled writers; one that adds the element of self-regulation to strategy instruction for writing. As with other types of strategy instruction, SRSD is explicit, direct, and guided so that strategies become integrated into the overall learning process. Instruction begins as teacher-directed but with a goal of empowering students to be self-directed. The self-regulation element addresses negative self-talk or perceptions of self-as-learner through replacement with positive self-talk, self-instructions, and new habits with which to approach learning tasks.
