Instructor: Sharon K. Gerleman - Developing and Using a Resource Room: To Assist Classroom Teachers and Highly Able Students - 1 cr
-
The Resource Room allows for a focus, a curriculum forum, and a
clearinghouse for teachers who have highly able students in
their classrooms, who may, or may not, be using their
abilities. This course will include the practical steps
involved in making a resource room work. Content will cover:
the advantages to students and teachers; the democratic,
non-elitist, invitational ways students and teachers may use
the resource room; and the planning and monitoring required on
the part of the Resource Room Coordinator. This is a cost
effective and fair way a school can make advanced or
specialized curriculum available to students who require it
or want it.
