Results from a 22-item questionnaire indicated favorable responses for five categories assessing various aspects of the program. Differences emerged, however, when the findings were analyzed by grade level. Lower elementary and secondary teachers revealed approving perceptions and attitudes while middle school teachers expressed concern over several phases of the program. In contrast to earlier evaluations, the present survey suggested general satisfaction with the Resource Specialist Program.

These teachers represented approximately 33% of the total teaching staff in the district. The teachers were divided by school grade groups as follows: K-3 = 40; 4-6 = 30; 7-8=15; and 9-12 = 6. Thus, a majority of the sample (77%) represented elementary levels while 23% were from secondary levels. The respondents were asked to complete an instrument consisting of 22 statements responded to on a Likert scale format from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). The 22 statements represented five categories of variables associated with the RSP. These included (a) program mechanics, (b) functions of the resource specialist, (c) RSP effects on the classroom teacher, (d) student develop ment in the RSP, and (e) parental attitudes toward the RSP. Content validity was judged by the special education faculty at the University of California, Riverside. With minor modification, the 22 statements and five categories were considered a represent ative sampling of information required to assess the attitudes and perceptions of regular class teachers toward the RSP. School principals were contacted and asked to distribute the surveys to those teachers who had students participating in the RSP. The individual teachers were assured anonymity. The surveys were returned to the school and collected for analysis." @default.
