Abstract

Lack of adequate descriptive data supporting the operation and efficacy of resource room programs prompted the investigation of resource teacher time utilization. To measure time use, a time sampling technique was employed and compared with teacher estimates of their time use. The teachers were found to spend less time than they estimated for direct instruction, participating in staffings, and working with Individualized Education Programs (IEP's). They spent more time than estimated on preparing for instruction and general school duties. In addition, no differences in the distribution of time use were found for teachers serving larger and smaller numbers of pupils.
