Resource Room support at Highlands and Crossroads Middle schools is provided in several ways.  One means of providing special education support is through an inclusion model, which is also called "team-teaching."  Within the general education classroom, both a general education and special education teacher provide instruction to all students.  However, curricular modifications and adaptations for special education students are made as needed within that setting, thereby requiring minimal pull-out instruction.  At the same time, more traditional pull-out instruction is still an option at both middle schools, where students can receive instruction in certain core academic areas in the context of a smaller classroom setting.  Finally, students can also take advantage of academic support classes designed to assist students with work from their general education classes.
