4.1 Steps in developing SRL

1.      Achieving consensus with teams on what the key high level self-regulatory skills are that you are trying to promote within modules and courses requires consideration and articulation of what a deep approach to the discipline is. It also requires stripping back the curriculum to focus on the knowledge and skill sets that are core to the module/programme.

 2.      Key SRL skills need to be mapped in a module/ programme blueprint to enable them to be transparent to educators and students. The progressive development of these SRL skills needs consideration, especially in relation to connections across modules taking consideration of the importance of valuing process and outcomes in relation to student acquisition of skills.

 3.      The techniques to best support the development of SRL skills then need to be embedded throughout the teaching of the curriculum so that students have multiple opportunities to develop their competence in them. 

 4.      Ongoing evaluation and review need to be carried out throughout the process to enable iterative development of the curriculum to ensure it meets the needs of all students, and that students are actively engaged in the review process.
