At Fayerweather, teachers work to help all students feel nurtured, challenged and valued. In order to meet the needs of all students, Fayerweather provides resource support for those students needing additional instruction and practice. Resource program is designed to provide children with additional support in reading, writing and organization. Resource Specialists are available to work with students individually or in small groups, both within and outside of the classroom.

In 1st and 2nd grades, resource teachers work directly in classrooms to support the beginning literacy process for all students. In grades 3rd -6th, students typically work individually or in small study groups in the resource room several times a week. In 7th and 8th grade, students often receive additional support from their homeroom teacher in “Skills Class” in lieu of Spanish. These classes focus on homework, writing and organization skils. In addition, some students receive further outside support from private tutors.
