think SRSD’s Unique Resources: Created For Teachers, By Teachers
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 thousands of teachers with this work as well, and received generous federally-funded grants to assist us in this effort.
The resources below are unique and available only at think SRSD. Developed under IES federal grant funding for translating evidence-based practices, the materials offer practical tools and lessons that make it easy for teachers to integrate with what they already use.
Student-facing Materials
Below, also see our TPT materials (workbooks and slides) that make it even easier for you to bring what works to your students.

Free Reading on think SRSD
think SRSD began publishing peer-reviewed studies on SRSD in 2006, but as classroom teachers. From the start, we focused on translation to the day-to-day of teachers’ worlds.
One of our favorites! Learn about the power of goal setting. Again the think SRSD focus is practical translation to your classroom in this study that we led as teachers, and wrote up for teachers.
Our peer-reviewed study details a research-to-practice implementation science partnership. We began with a few teachers, then grew to the full district (LaCrosse WI) using think SRSD.
This Report lists thinkSRSD on page 4 as the recommended provider for SRSD professional development. Overviews the research behind our approach.
This Guide offers 4 recommendations to get started in following the science of writing right away, including using SRSD and wider research-backed practices.
Like the elementary guide, this resource also provides key recommendations that serve as the basis of think SRSD’s approach.
