Component 1d mainly focuses on the resources a teacher may have for their students inside and outside of the classroom. It covers materials in the classroom, outside for extended learning, materials for the teacher, and materials that provide non instructional assistance to students. The teacher decides what kind of materials are important to help the students and also challenge them. The thought of challenging resources seems strange but aligns with chosen reading or other material that is at the correct level for all students. This component is important because it is the base for what supplies, of all kinds, should be within the classroom. It also points out how teachers should be conscious of the things available for their students.
Resources for classroom use pertains to having supplies and materials that work in tandem to the learning objectives. Resources to extend content knowledge and pedagogy deal with having the materials that will help expand also the teacher's knowledge. Finally, resources for the students should be challenging for a student at any kind of level. This component can be implemented in my classroom through my classroom library. Classroom libraries are so important for English rooms, due to the fact that they encourage further literacy outside the classroom. By stocking the shelves with a variety of interesting and well-written books at many levels, I can push my students to take their knowledge outside just my room.
