Other teachers use the time for planning. Few adjustments are needed in the language of teacher contacts if they are not required to teach during the intersessions. Some accomodation does need to be made for resource teachers who teach the remedial classes during the intersessions. A successful intersession program requires a positive working relationship between the school and the community. Before a program is designed a thorough survey of the needs of families must be undertaken.
Many families opt to keep their children at home or use day care providers in the community.
Community organizations and businesses can also assist by developing supplemental programs, providing scholarships and underwriting classes. The concept of continous learning is best achieved when the potential of intersessions is recognized and a concerted effort is undertaken to make productive use of the time by both families and the school.
