Another great LDSB Rapid Rundown with Lesley and Meaghan. This session was all about a few simple yet effective thinkSRSD strategies that can be used to support writing. My favourite is the 'Do / What?' strategy that can be used across the day and all content areas. A huge thanks to all who came!

It was such a great weekend at #LitLearn2025 in Toronto. Thanks to Mr. Ingola for being my partner in crime. We shared all about LDSB's thinkSRSD pilot project and how educators are using the approach to help teach writing. Lots of great sessions and learning this weekend. Can't wait for next year!

We had our second day of the LDSB thinkSRSD pilot project today. Educators from across the district came together to share their work, reflection on the process, and dig into more thinkSRSD learning. Thanks to everyone who joined us today! Great things are happening in Limestone.

The specific outcome measure discussed today is students inclusion of informational elements: TIDE. You should check out @leslielaud.bsky.social thinkSRSD which was a resource provided to students to enter into SRSD.

Sure! We shared a quote and then showed where the gist section is on the thinkSRSD online course (with student-facing videos, etc), a colleague and I shared examples and ideas from our classrooms, and we handed out a gist lesson plan from thinkSRSD that works from K-8. Teachers are invited to try!

We are continuing our soft launch of thinkSRSD at our school with a K-8 focus on gist sentences throughout all subject areas for the month of February…and did someone say “prizes”?! 🎁

To be successful writers, children need to learn
✏️Letter formation
✏️Spelling
✏️Composition
This can all begin in kindergarten.
These UFLI dictated sentences support letter formation & spelling, and we use thinkSRSD to develop early composition skills as well.

Of ARC, EL, and Fishtank, Fishtank is definitely the strongest and easiest to use. Teachers will still need to decide which units to include and to what extent. I recommend using the ThinkSRSD model for writing instruction within the FT curriculum.

ThinkSRSD Fall 24 Thread II (second class of upperclass people):
The big ThinkSRSD thread, Fall 2024, as told by my students.
-I remember really struggling when writing the pre-assessment. I was in a perpetual state of writer's block. Now my writing flows much more naturally, because I have learned that academic writing depends a lot on a pre-writing plan.

As we were making plans to introduce the thinkSRSD framework to my colleagues at today's staff meeting, I reflected on a great quote from the recent book Harnessing the Science of Learning by Nathaniel Swain and his words inspired our approach.
