Writing is a rigorous task that is essential for a student's success, both inside and outside the classroom. Due to the fact that writing is a challenging, multi-dimensional skill it is essential that students master the foundational skills during their middle school years, before preparing to move on to high school, where writing assignments will become more arduous and require high levels of critical thinking. For this reason, it is important for middle school English teachers to ensure that they utilize evidence-based writing instructional practices in their classroom to aid students in becoming skilled writers. One such strategy is the self-regulated strategy development, which was developed in 1982 by Karen R. Harris and Steve Graham. SRSD is a highly effective approach to teaching writing in the classroom that yields positive results for both developing and developed students alike. Through the implementation of the SRSD approach in my 6th grade English classroom, I hope to see growth in my students’ confidence in their writing abilities and improvements in their overall writing outcomes.
