Resource Room
The Resource Room is operated in accordance with Part 200.6 (f) of the Commissioner's Regulations. Instruction is provided at least three hours per week in groups no larger than five students. If the three year maximum range in academic achievement (reading and mathematics) is exceeded, parents and teacher are provided with a narrative description of the class, as per regulation 200.6 (f) (7). Resource Room instruction is a less restrictive option than placement in a special class due to the academic and social benefits to be derived from the mainstream education program. The Resource Room teacher provides supplementary instruction focusing on compensatory and organizational skills acquisition, enabling the student to meet the daily demands of the mainstream setting.
