It is very different, teaching freshmen than older students. One thing that I find is that many of these students are leaving resource classes for the first time. They have been receiving resource services since elementary school, but parents have chosen to let their students be fully mainstreamed in their classes receiving no services. These low-skilled or resource students want to learn, but feel frustrated with the way instruction is delivered in a school setting. Some are reluctant to ask for extra help, or to be identified as being a resource student, or having some kind of learning accommodation. Many don't advocate for themselves, don't feel success in the classroom and disengage from the learning process. Of my 175 students, 25 have been identified as resource students. Many others are low skilled and would qualify for resource but are not receiving services due to parental request.
