A resource teacher is an educator who provides specialized support to students with diverse learning needs within the general education classroom and in small-group pull-out sessions.

We work with students who have disabilities, learning difficulties, or who need extra help to succeed academically. Resource teachers collaborate with classroom teachers, parents, and other specialists to create inclusive learning environments and tailor instruction to meet individual student needs. 

Key Roles and Responsibilities of a Resource Teacher:

• Providing specialized instruction:
  Resource teachers work with students in small groups or individually, offering targeted support in areas where students struggle. 

• Collaborating with general education teachers:
  We co-teach, adapt curriculum, and modify materials to make learning accessible for all students. 

• Developing Individualized Education Programs (IEPs):
  We create and implement IEPs, which outline specific goals and support strategies for students with disabilities. 

• Monitoring student progress:
  We track student progress, assess their learning, and communicate with parents about their child's development. 

• Creating inclusive learning environments:
  We work to foster a positive and supportive classroom atmosphere where all students feel valued and can learn effectively. 

• Utilizing specialized materials and technology:
  We may use adaptive equipment, assistive technology, and other specialized materials to support students' learning. 

• Communicating with parents and other professionals:
  We regularly communicate with parents, therapists, and other specialists to ensure a coordinated approach to student support. 

Resource teachers play a vital role in ensuring that all students have access to a high-quality education and the opportunity to reach their full potential.
