The resource period is used to make up work or test if a student is out.This eliminates teachers having to take time out of class to do this.
The teachers love the resource class in the middle of the day to break theday up for them. They also enjoy teaching a nontraditional type class.
It allows for a built in time for clubs to meet as well as assemblies, pep
rallies, etc It builds culture by pairing students with common interest. It lowers your discipline incidents and offers an additional discipline tool
if needed. You can implement a no zero policy by having students make up work
during this time if you choose to do so. If you have students move in that is behind, this will offer a much better
way of catching them up by allowing access during this time. It can be used for PLC meetings as well as department meetings, since
the classes can be covered much easier.
