Abstract
Students with both academic and behavioral risk factors can benefit from participation in self-regulated strategy development (SRSD) instruction. Educators can use systematic screening procedures as part of effective data-informed decision making for identifying students who could benefit from SRSD. In this manuscript we detail screening procedures for both academic and behavioral risk factors to connect identified students with SRSD instruction. Recommendations for screening practices are provided including future directions for research.
