Jerry69 I agree with you to a certain extent. I wonder if there are too many resource teachers too. I also have been supported by them so I value their positions. I wonder if the resources teachers would be even more effective if they could do a rotation with the classroom teachers every few years. As a resource teacher I receive(d) so much professional development to build my skills that when I did go back to the classroom I was a much better teacher as a result. There are some resource teachers who I feel are out of touch with the classrooms as they have been out for so long. I also think classroom teachers would benefit from taking on a resource teaching position for a period or time to understand that role and get more PD.
