Students view “exemplar” texts as samples and are guided in scaffolding the writing skills over time using templates and mnemonics so they may gradually be empowered in writing and assessing their own work towards continued writing progress.SRSD uses a 6-stage gradual release framework which includes: Task Analysis\, Goal Setting\, Task Management\, Self-Evaluation\, Self-Reinforcement and Reflection. SRSD is not a program; it is a set of practices that develop the self-regulation students need to be in charge of their literacy lives. And\, SRSD offers practical strategies to help readers and writers strengthen their ability to learn in social contexts\, be strategic\, engage in purposeful discovery and become independent thinkers. \n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n \n \n \n 8-Session Older Registration—3/3-4/28/21\n \n $250.00\n \n Add to cart URL:https://sanghacenter.org/workshop/srsd-younger-3-2/ CATEGORIES:Educational Consulting & Training ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://sanghacenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/brooke-cagle-uHVRvDr7pg-unsplash-scaled.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Christine Keller":MAILTO:christine@sanghacenter.org LOCATION:https://sanghacenter.org/workshop/srsd-younger-3-2/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20210303T163000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20210303T173000 DTSTAMP:20260504T043700 CREATED:20200915T110000Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210131T005947Z UID:10000593-1614789000-1614792600@sanghacenter.org SUMMARY:Self-Regulated Strategy Development (SRSD) for Writing [YOUNGER STUDENTS] DESCRIPTION:Chava Blitzer has been teaching SRSD to assist students develop thinking and writing skills for several years and is offering an 8-week instructional services program on Wednesday late afternoons during March and April at Sangha Education Center for all ages and ability levels broken into small groups. \n\n\n\nMarch Dates: 3\, 10\, 17\, 24 – April Dates: 7\, 14\, 21\, 28 (attending all sessions required) \n\n\n\nSelf-Regulated Strategy Development (SRSD) for Writing has the strongest evidence-base of all researched writing approaches.
