Objective: The SDLMI is a teaching model implemented by teachers to enable their students to self-direct and self regulate their actions in pursuit of goals.
Content Taught
The SDLMI is intended to be used by general and special education teachers and school professionals across a variety of academic (e.g., English, Math) and non-academic (e.g., social, behavioral, transition planning) areas to enable students to become more effective at initiating and self-regulating their actions as they work toward self-selected goals.
Teaching Procedures
This practice does not have a Lesson Starter, but you can find detailed information about using it.
- Research over the last 25 years has shown that teachers can use the SDLMI to enable students with and without disabilities to reach goals while they are in school and after they finish school. Over 20 research studies have shown the impact of the SDLMI on outcomes, establishing it as an evidence-based practice. Find out more: SDLMI Teacher’s Guide
