Resource Program
The Resource Program at St. Alban Roe School is dedicated to helping all students achieve success in the regular education classroom. The Resource Program will strive to support a learning environment which recognizes, encourages and supports the unique and diverse God given gifts of each student.
Students will be eligible for services after the classroom teacher has completed Tiers I and II of the Response to Intervention Plan, and the student has not shown significant growth. In Tier I the student will have universal interventions in the classroom. Tier II takes place in the classroom as well, with the teacher and assistant. Individualized interventions will be used and progress monitored. If adequate progress is not being made, students will be moved into Tier III which is direct instruction in the Resource program.
The resource teacher, a special educator, will support the skills being taught in the classroom with supplemental materials and strategies. The primary focus of the program is closing the gaps in learning for students and to keep the gaps at a minimum for at-risk students.
The length of service will depend on the progress of each individual student. Once a student has consistently met benchmark and they are maintaining in the classroom they will be released from resource.
Resource services can be received as direct instruction in the resource room or in the regular classroom during the school day. Most often the students will have small group or individual instruction in the resource room. Depending on the number of students and the lesson being taught, the resource teacher may go into the classroom to support the students.
