    Hi all,

    I'm starting as a support teacher for Year 3 and 4 support. I guess it's similar to a resource teacher. I am an NQT.

    I will have my own room, which is currently full of junk at the minute. I was just wondering what should I have in the room or how should I lay it own in terms of areas or things.

    Any advice from teachers would be great.

    Do you mean 3rd and 4th class?Will it be through withdrawal or in-class you will work?Can'y say you'll need as I don't know the kids ' needs and if it is maths or literacy you will be taking?For any class,though, I'd like a laptop,secure storage space for the kids files,mini-whiteboards and markers.

    It's for Year 3 and 4 so it's pretty much the same as 3rd and 4th class. The school is 7 form entry, so I'll be working with kids from 14 different classes. It's withdrawal into this room I've been given. Yeah the mojority of work will be based on literacy and numeracy.

    The support teacher in my school has a really small room. from what I can see she has enough chair and table space for when she has her largest groups, which I think is around 6 children. She has a movable white board which she writes on and sticks things like a hundred square or phonics stuff to. Basic supply of stationary for the children (pencils, rulers, copy books). basic supply of everyday resources, such as cubes/number lines/phonics mats and other resources she brings in when needed. she stores the children's paper work on high shelves and has the chidren's individual targets in a fun display on the wall ( i think they are based on IEPs).

    She has said she would love an interactive white board, or even just a projector but there isn't any room.

    I think they key is to make it welcoming and for the children to feel like it is ''their'' room, so having something individual to each child is good.
