Based on recent reviews <br />we have conducted in other school districts, this is a relatively small caseload, but it is not unheard of <br />either. The variation in caseload is quite significant, ranging from 6 to 23 students. Some resource room <br />staff indicates that they spend up to 12 hours/week supporting a single student. If this level of support is <br />needed, then it may be that a different model would be better for the student and more cost effective. <br />Comparison with like districts is difficult because the role and service delivery model varies greatly <br />from district to district, and the risk of comparing apples to oranges is significant. <br />A few safe comparisons can be made: <br />11 staff members service 19 or more students, which indicate other staff in the district manage a <br />larger caseload. <br />The National Reading Panel model for tier 2 remediation and intervention (which is a similar <br />role to resource room support) suggests a remediation/intervention reading teacher caseload of <br />25-35 students. <br />One Lexington staff member commented that she had previously worked in a nearby affluent <br />school district and her caseload was 34, which was typical for the district. <br />The District Management Council <br />7 Harcourt Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02116 <br />- <br />Tel:1877-DMC-3500 | Fax:617-491-5266 |www.dmcouncil.org <br /> <br />
