This document provides strategies for using GLAD techniques in a resource room with limited time. It notes that resource rooms have less time per subject and student than typical classrooms. It suggests having students help create and engage with the learning materials, such as coloring maps or writing sentence frames, to both involve them and efficiently use class time. By trying this approach of student involvement, the document asserts that small groups can learn a lot within the resource room time constraints.

Multiple

6. Now let’s look at the
Resource Room
2 days a week per
subject
30 – 45 minutes
per subject per day
Small Groups
Multiple
strategies needed in
one day to teach the
skill

7. I have an idea!

8. Let the kids help
make the resources!!

9. Studying Land Forms?
You draw the map.
Let Your kids
color the
land forms!
Mountains, hills, plateaus, and plains?
Talk about them as they color!

10. Writing sentence frames?
Let your kids help you write them!
You can teach as you go!
I’ve tried this! It works in my small
groups and my kids are learning a lot!
Just try it! You might like it!
