Gemini Gems Meet SRSD: Combining Evidence-Based Writing Interventions with Scalable Scaffolds

28 Jan 2027
Classroom Leaders
Implementing evidence-based writing interventions is challenging, especially for students who need intensive support. This poster presentation shows how educators can use custom generative AI agents, such as Gemini Gems, to scaffold writing instruction, support teacher implementation and preserve the core components of the Self-Regulated Strategy Development model. Learn how custom AI tools can align with explicit SRSD stages, giving teachers scalable coaching supports and giving students real-time, personalized strategy instruction. Explore practical frameworks that ensure technology enhances evidence-based writing interventions rather than replacing them, helping students with disabilities and other struggling writers build self-regulation, learn powerful writing strategies and gain independence as digital scaffolds gradually fade. You will leave with configuration frameworks, ready-to-use templates and practical exemplars for designing custom agents, protecting instructional fidelity and deploying these tools across diverse learning environments, along with a clear roadmap for integrating generative AI into writing instruction ethically and responsibly so scalable supports are designed for all.
