I am currently preparing for my summer adventure as a TN Core Coach. I always love when I go to in-service and the presenter has resources for me to take back to my classroom. The main subject of the in-services is SRSD. SRSD is Self-Regulated Strategies Development writing approach. There are six stages in SRSD:
Stage 1: Activate and Develop Background Knowledge
Build enthusiasm for genre
Develop background knowledge (and pre-skills)
Read and discuss models
Teach genre vocabulary

My first freebie for in-service is the POW posters. POW is mnemonic device to help students structure any kind of writing. This is a great tool for students before they start to write.
I’ve created 5 posters with the POW mnemonic and click here to get them!
I am also starting a Pinterest board for SRSD that you can find here. I’ll be adding resources as I find them. If you have resources please comment below.
