The purpose of the Resource Room is to provide small group instruction to students classified by the Child Study Team. The amount of instruction time provided is equivalent to the time spent on that subject area in the regular classroom. Help in strengthening visual and auditory processing skills is also included in the Resource Room program, if needed.
All instruction is planned to specifically meet each student's individual educational needs.
Grading in that subject area is the responsibility of the Resource Room teacher. Children are recommended for evaluation only when other interventions have not been successful. The Child Study Team evaluation is a means of further studying a child's strengths and weaknesses in the educational, social and emotional areas. Parents receive reports of all evaluations. Students referred by their classroom teacher are screened by the remedial teacher, and if found to be in need of help are placed in the program provided the space is available.
