The Resource Specialist Program supports students, teachers and parents in a variety of ways. When children are struggling to learn, we collaborate with general education staff to identify and implement changes.
Student Success Team (SST)
Students in the RSP program benefit by remaining in their regular class for the majority of the day and spending part of the day in the Resource Specialist Room.
If problems continue, SST explores concerns with teachers and parents. Changes are implemented. A few weeks later SST reconvenes. Is the student improve? If not, SST may recommend individualized formal assessment.

Individualizing = Learning
Students in the RSP program benefit by remaining in their regular class for the majority of the day and spending part of the day in the Resource Specialist Room.
Students work in the RSP room on Individual Education Plans that are tailor made for them. They have the opportunity to work at their level using all the modalities. Work is completed using all of the five senses and students know what their expectations are daily.
Home-School Connection
Communication home is an important key and this taes place often. The Resource Specialist teacher is also in daily contact with all of the regular teachers.
