Session Description:
This interactive workshop equips educators with research-backed strategies to foster self-regulated learning (SRL) in English writing while integrating 21st-century skills such as creativity and collaboration. Participants will explore the foundations of SRL (including motivation, goal-setting, and reflection) and learn a structured framework for teaching these strategies through explicit instruction, modeling, and scaffolding. The session highlights how SRL enhances key elements that empower young writers—choice and autonomy—and provides practical SRL strategies to guide students through each stage of the writing process: planning, drafting, revising, and editing. Professor Barry Bai will showcase a customizable Writing Strategy Book, a student resource featuring checklists and reflection prompts designed to promote autonomy.
