Ours was run in as a drop in centre. There was a book in the spec ed room, and slots and times to sign kids in. They could be signed in for up to 1/2 a period. They were expected to bring the work with them. For example, a math teacher would go and sign in certain students for a certain half period when they were in math class. They would then get their assignment, and come down to resource and we would help them with it.
It worked great. We also accepted ones that weren't pre signed in, as long as we weren't totally booked up. We set the limit generally at 4 - 5 kids per teacher/educational assistant. So max we would be helping about 15 - 20 kids per half period. That's a lot of kids through the day - but it really worked well. Of couse, we'd see the same student for more than one subject. The hard cores were allowed up to 2 full periods a day. The really hard working students, well, we didn't send them away if it was more.
The teachers loved it, because the kids got 1 on 1 on material that they needed help with from their class, and the teacher didn't have to spend as much time helping them within the class setting.
The kids loved it, as they got a break from class, and were able to focus and get help they needed. It really built a lot of self esteem. I LOVED working with a group of kids of 4 or 5 at a time from a class. They'd bring their assignment and away we'd go.
PLUS - what you worked on in resource was DIRECTLY from the teachers and the class which kept you connected, ya know???
Let me know what you think.
