Resource room consulting can help educators develop effective strategies for students with learning differences. It also gives teachers practical tools they can continue using in the classroom.
At DaVinci, our consultants work closely with educators to understand individual student needs. We introduce effective instructional strategies and help teachers use approaches that support meaningful student progress.
Daniel had diagnoses of dyslexia and attentional deficits. A seasoned resource room teacher began working with him. Although she had limited experience with multisensory language instruction, she wanted to learn new methods and approaches.
DaVinci Education and Research’s consultation model was well suited to Daniel’s learning needs.
Our consultants worked directly with Daniel’s resource room teacher. They introduced a new instructional approach and modeled additional tools and strategies. These strategies targeted the specific areas where Daniel struggled.
As the collaboration continued, Daniel’s teacher became more proficient with the new approach. She also began incorporating these additional strategies into his instruction.
The collaborative plan produced measurable progress for Daniel as a reader.
Just as importantly, Daniel’s teacher added the consultation strategies to her professional toolbox. She could continue using these techniques with Daniel and other students who face similar reading and learning challenges.
This is one of the important benefits of resource room consulting. The process can support an individual student while also strengthening the skills and confidence of the teacher.
For students with reading difficulties such as dyslexia, instruction may need to go beyond traditional teaching methods.
Multisensory language instruction incorporates multiple ways of learning. It can give students additional opportunities to understand and practice important reading and language skills.
Through consultation and collaboration, DaVinci helps educators identify strategies for each student’s needs. This allows teachers to avoid using the same approach for every learner.
Effective educational consulting should not simply provide teachers with a list of recommendations.
DaVinci’s approach is collaborative. Our consultants work with teachers and other education professionals to model strategies and identify areas of need. They also evaluate student progress and develop practical approaches teachers can continue using independently.
The goal is to build lasting knowledge and instructional skills within the school. At the same time, the process provides support for the individual student.
DaVinci’s reading consultants bring more than 16 years of experience working with students, instructors, and school district professionals. DaVinci builds these relationships through collaboration, mutual respect, and trust.
By working together, educators and consultants can give students the instruction, strategies, and support they need. This collaborative approach can help students work toward their fullest potential despite learning differences.
Every student’s learning needs are different. DaVinci Collaborative works with educators and school districts to develop individualized strategies and services around those needs.
