Welcome to the Resource Room! It is a place that offers students a little extra guidance with their academic needs. The room comfortably holds up to three work areas for students and often they are filled.
The primary areas of help for students who regularly use the room include:
1. Improving test taking skills amd studying for tests
2. Motivation
3. Organization, accountability with assignments
4. Assisting with research
5. Having the staff read material aloud or at times by a computer
6. Developing and using novel chapter summaries
7. Assisting with test taking
8. Improving basic academic and learning skills.
Each student, who reguarly comes to the room, completes a learning survey at the beginning of the year to identify their learning preference. Throughout the year we focus on their unique learning style and discover how to best use that in a classroom setting.
The resource room coordinates its efforts with the cooperation of classroom teachers in the ongoing effort to best meet the needs of the individual student. Teachers are still the primary source of help for daily work and for modifying assignments as needed; whereas the resource room focuses on the bigger picture.
From time to time, a student may require just a little extra asistance with daily work and a peer mentor might be arranged for them. This can be arranged for students who regularly use the resource room or for students who do not come here regularly.
