Do You Want to Improve Your Students’ Writing?
During this twelve-hour course, you will learn an evidence-based pedagogy for how to teach your students to independently use the writing process whenever they write. This is a curriculum-agnostic approach focused on informational writing. You will learn specifically how to implement the core routines and scaffolds of Self-Regulated Strategy Development (SRSD). A combination of synchronous (live, online) and asynchronous (self-paced) sessions will be used to keep the course moving along and engaging.
Please note that the 1-hour self-paced course Self-Regulated Strategy Development for Writing - Overview is a prerequisite for this course.
