Description

iSELF is a professional-development programme developed for primary teachers that combines SRL theory training, lesson-planning support, coached lesson observation, and reflective feedback to promote explicit, integrated SRL instruction.

Components

• iSELF professional development program for explicit, integrated SRL instruction: iSELF is a professional development program for primary teachers in which "the explicit instruction of SRL strategies in their classrooms plays a central role". It combines a half-day plenary training on SRL theory and didactics with three coaching sessions in which teachers construct lesson plans using the iSELF flowchart and reflect on observed lessons with a trainer. Supporting materials include a hands-on guidebook, example lesson plans, a weekly calendar with tips, an SRL poster and video clips of explicit SRL instruction. (Patrick Sins et al. (2024))

Claims
