Resource (RSP)

 

At Holmes Middle School the role of the resource specialist program is to support students with disabilities in accessing and progressing in the standards-based core curriculum. The resource program provides instruction and services to students whose needs have been identified in an Individualized Education Program (IEP) developed by the IEP team and who have been assigned to the general education classroom teachers for a majority of the school day.

 

A learning Center is a designated classroom or set of classrooms where a diverse group of educators provides multi-leveled instructional support to students. 

The purpose of the secondary Learning Center is to provide students with disabilities with supplementary, direct instructional services in content, learning strategies, and progress monitoring in academics, transition, or social communication skills. Instruction in the Learning Center must be based on the student's needs in the general education program. It is not to supplant core instruction in the general education classroom.
