think SRSD’s Unique Resources
From the start, think SRSD was launched by teacher-researchers. Unlike researchers based in universities, we were based in actual school systems, figuring out how to use research in our real-world settings, from the inside. In an effort to bridge research to the classroom, we studied how to translate SRSD and the wider research on effective writing instruction to our classrooms. We then supported tens of thousands of teachers with this work as well.
The resources below are unique and available only at think SRSD. These were developed with IES federal grant funding under the charge of translating reading and writing evidence-based practices into practical tools and lessons that would be easy for teachers to integrate with what they already use.
