Join Dr. Steve Graham for our January session on self-regulated strategy development (SRSD). SRSD is an instructional approach for teaching students strategies for carrying out the thinking processes of writing: planning, framing text, evaluation, revising, and editing. It has been the most tested and successful of all writing approaches. This presentation shares an example with younger and older students.
Bring the Science of Writing to your classroom in fun and engaging ways through thinkSRSD. Join Dr. Leslie Laud for our February session on this topic. Discover easy-to-implement, enjoyable and evidence-based ways to re-invigorate how you teach writing. Learn pre-writing strategies that help students make deeper meanings of texts. Support your writers as they can generate fresh insights when they write about these. Teach scaffolds and structures for navigating the full writing process from planning to revision, and in ways to build knowledge about the world, and student voice. Help your students become more strategic, empowered, independent and goal-oriented writers, and thinkers.
Open to members and non-members, please join us for our Annual Meeting. Learn more about our organization and how you can get involved, meet our board of directors, hear from a special guest from Hand2Mind, connect with like-minded change-makers in our state, and be present for the announcement of our 2026 Science of Reading Champion Award winners!
