- 11. Role of Resource Teachers
- 12. Resource teachers are specially trained teachers capable of teaching children with special needs in all settings.
- 13. 1. Their main role is to provide remedial assistance to a child in those content areas in which he/she is having comprehension problems in a regular classroom. This assistance is ideally provided in a resource room.
- 14. 2. A resource teacher also advises the general teacher on how to cope with the needs of special children in the regular classroom.
- 15. 3. Resource teachers can either be appointed by the state and district authorities to function at the block Level/cluster or their support can be obtained through special schools, competent NGOs or IEDC scheme of MHRD.
- 16. 4. Some general teachers could also be given long-term training to provide to the CWSN those support services that they may require
- 17. The main functions of these teachers will be: Identification and assessment of CWSN Teach special skills like Braille to a visually impaired child, use of hearing aids etc. •Advise the regular class teacher on problems encountered by children with disabilities. •Suggest necessary curricular modifications or adaptations and classroom strategies. •Assist disabled children during and after school hours. •Undertake parent counselling and community mobilization Be in-charge of the resource room at the BRC/CRC.
- 18. Resource Room
- 19. • The main function of the resource room is to provide extra remedial assistance required by children having special needs. Wherever the child is unable to comprehend the lesson in a regular classroom, he/she is taken to the resource room and a skilled teacher provides remedial tutoring. One or two examples will illustrate this point. A visually impaired child may not be able to read from the blackboard what the teacher writes, when teaching mathematics. He/she may be taken to the resource room and taught the use of pertinent equipment and explained the methodology of solving a particular problem.
- 20. In SSA, there is a provision of a resource room at the BRC/CRC. There is no separate construction of a resource room for IE under SSA. But a small room within the already existing BRC/CRC structure is proposed. This room can be used as a resource room for CWSN for the following purposes:
- 21. •Keeping some basic equipment •Providing additional help to a child with a special need by a resource or a regular teacher, if possible Joint problem solving between the resource teacher and the general teacher and Preparation of teaching learning material by the resource teacher. The resource teacher should be in charge of all the work that is to be undertaken in the resource room The BRCC/CRCC should monitor, supervise and ensure smooth functioning of the resource room.
