What is a Resource Teacher?

A resource teacher is a teacher who works with special needs or gifted children - also giving help to children with moderate learning difficulties, or extra help and support for children that are behind their expected level. Special education resource teachers work with students who have special needs in their regular classroom or a separate, designated classroom. This is often referred to as a special educational needs (SEN) teacher in the UK.

Resource teachers teach academics and basic life skills to students who have physical, emotional, cognitive and learning disabilities. Resource room teacher responsibilities include being able to adapt the curriculum to teach subjects like maths, reading and writing to these students.

A resource teacher often works along with other teachers to help the students with reading, writing, and maths. A resource teacher does not have his/her own classroom; these teachers are more likely to pull groups of students from class or work with them after school.

Typically they start their career as a mainstream teacher and gain general teaching experience before moving into being a resource or SEN teacher. Training is usually available through part-time, in-service courses that are funded either by a school or LA.

They can also undertake further postgraduate professional development in areas of SEN. Options include certificates as well as a diploma or Masters in special educational needs. There are also opportunities to focus on particular areas such as dyslexia or dyscalculia.

Course content and titles vary according to the type of special educational need or disability covered. Courses are available either full or part time.

These courses can often provide extensive field opportunities, where prospective resource room teachers participate in classroom settings and get the chance to teach students with varying needs or disabilities.
