Being a Resource Specialist is a blast(but a lot of hard work)~

It's the best job in the world! Being a Resource Specialist is like putting together a jigsaw puzzle in some ways- and there is never a dull moment. I put together this manual because I really do think I have learned a few shortcuts over the years. I started out as a special ed aide in 1980 and have taught K-12, been a program specialist (no thanks, I like my family of students and teachers), and for the last almost 20 years have taught at a small Title I elementary school on the California coast. I have received excellent feedback on this manual, and plan to improve it over the months to come. I am going to send out 3 Free "How to be a Resource Specialist" manuals to the first people who comment on my blog! And please give me any ideas you have for more tips you would like me to include! Enjoy!

    This is great! I love your blog - the "recipes" are amazing, and the picture of your 4th of July cake was much appreciated. I am a teacher in a self-contained class for students with Autism transitioning to be a resource specialist in an inclusion environment! Your book suggestion was GREAT!

    Id love a copy if you're willing to email me. I'm the ESE Specialist, as well as the Kindergarten teacher, at a small school in Florida and could use all the help I can get :)

    Being a resource specialist is definitely a fun challenge, we definitely wear a lot of hats I think. This looks like an interesting resource!
