Assign resource services
[Applies to elementary [>>] and secondary [>>] school scheduling.]
A resource service is specialized assistance or instruction, such as Remedial Reading, Remedial Math, Speech Therapy, Gifted and Talented Enrichment, provided to a single student or a small group. Typically, a specialist teacher delivers such services, often moving from school to school to do so. The specialist teacher delivers the service through an existing class (an "inclusion", typically in a related subject) or in an existing class's time slot but as a separate "pull-out" session.
The School Administrator assigns resources services to students. Drawing on a list of such services set up for use at the school [>>], the administrator can assign a service to one or more students at a time. Note: The administrator can assign a resource service only in the Active Calendar [>>].
