Coached by:
- Ann Nichols
My PLO Goals
- To impact significant and meaningful change in the way my students write by providing them with organization and writing strategies
- Explicitly teach strategies that will allow them to internalize the process of writing within the informational and opinion genre
PLO Learning
- Identify and distinguish the different writing technique models and mnemonics used to aid development of writing
- Develop strong writing skills and practices to utilize when explicitly modelling for students within my writing block. This has impacted my teaching practice and my daily instruction as well as established a monthly goal for my students writing.
- Design effective lessons that utilize the SRSD mnemonic across all content areas
Integration of Techniques and Practices
- Utilized the mnemonics POW+ TIDE to increase student awareness of their metacognitive process as they engage in the writing process as well as aid in the development internalizing a framework for planning and organizing ideas.
- Engaged students in self-regulation and self-talk strategies to promote positive thinking, perseverance, and goal-setting
Impact
- Students increasingly use the POW+TIDE mnemonics independently which aid in the internalization of the writing process
- More developed writing with an improvement in introductions and use of relevant details in informative writin
Conclusion
- Self-regulation skills that are explicitly taught aid students with metacognition, planning, organization, and goal setting
- Explicit instruction and modelling increase student access to ways to process information and content knowledge
Next Steps
- Continue to implement the SRSD framework and methodology by aligning it to my writer’s workshop scope and sequence
- Collaborate with teachers in grade 3 & 4 to track student growth as we continue to embed SRSD in our writing sessions
