Resource needs are met at WACTC through the services of three resource teachers. It is our
mission to enable all students to achieve. Resource teachers are available to provide
academic support to any student enrolled at WACTC.
Resource is provided using the inclusion model. In general students’ needs are met in the classroom. Resource teachers are available to work with the academic/career teachers.
Services include working individually with students or in small groups. The amount of time spent in a classroom is based on the needs of the students or at the request of the
classroom teacher.
Services are implemented as needed in a comfortable, supportive environment. Working in the resource room may be necessary when students need increased support with a particular subject or assignment. Students may complete tests and assignments in the resource room as outlined in the Individualized Education Plan or as determined by the resource teachers in collaboration with the academic/career teachers.
Computers are available for writing assignments and research, as well as a small library containing popular novels and reference materials. Students are encouraged to seek reading material recommendations from the resource/subject teachers and to sign out materials as
needed.
Support is offered to all students in all areas at WACTC. It is our philosophy that diverse learning needs are best met through daily collaboration between students, teachers and administrators. We strive to meet the individual needs of students to promote academic and technical proficiency.
