| The resource teachers act as consultants
to teachers by providing supplemental materials, observing
students, and offering insight on behavior management, learning
environment and academic concepts.
In the Lower School, resource teachers may help students with
their class work, meet with a small group, or meet with students
individually. They may be reviewing material for better understanding,
or helping to solidify new concepts with extra practice. Screening
assessments will be offered in the early grades to determine
if preventative resource services are needed for students
at risk for academic difficulties.
In the Upper School, the resource teacher assists students
with study skills such as organizing their materials and homework,
study strategies for test-taking, long-term project planning
and report writing, usually on a one-on-one basis. The assistance
may be short or long-term, depending on the student’s
needs.
The classroom teachers and resource team will work together
to help educate these covenant children with varying abilities
“so that they may occupy their places worthily in society,
church and state”.
