Learn about SDI (Writing & Math): Self-Regulated Strategy Development (SRSD) A Meta-Cognitive Strategy (HLP 14) - Self-Paced Professional Learning (IRIS Center & VDOE TTAC at GMU)

Description:

What is SRSD?
Self-regulated strategy development (SRSD) is a research-based six-step instructional framework that explicitly teaches meta-cognition while integrating cognitive strategy instruction (HLP 14) to improve students’ academic and self-regulation skills. Explicitly taught across multiple academic domains, SRSD improves students’ writing, mathematics, reading comprehension, and self- advocacy. The power of SRSD + cognitive strategy instruction occurs when instruction is vertically articulated, taught and reinforced across multiple grade levels, and generalized in other subject areas (HLP 21).

Mathematics
Presented at the Council for Exceptional Children (2017, 2018) conferences, learn a research based meta-cognitive strategy (HLP 14) for teaching students how to solve multi-step equations. The Self- Regulated Strategy Development (SRSD) for Solving Equations professional learning session includes all materials and resources necessary to implement the SRSD + DCMCW strategy, including videos modeling instruction. Ways to implement the SRSD + DCMCW strategy as SDI in the inclusive classroom are included in the session so that general and special education teachers will better understand how to deliver SDI, and specifically the SRSD + DCMCW strategy in the co-taught classroom. The IRIS Center SRSD Learning Strategies that Enhance Student Learning is included within the session.
