The New Brunswick Department of Education supports the Philosophy of resources-based learning in which students work with a variety of resources, both print and non-print, rather than with a single resource. Curriculum guides, supervisory personnel and the Catalogue of Instructional Materials provide information to help teachers make Informed decisions about resources and their availability. The School Library / Multimedia centre, the teacher-librarian, and other knowledgeable adults are invaluable assets to classroom teachers and their students. Parent and community Volunteers, Internet connections and school community partnerships broaden the resources traditionally used. No teacher or classroom alone can provide the range of resources - print, human, media and personal telecommunications to address students' diverse educational needs. The emphasis on an inquiry approach to learning, sharing of action and responsibility for learning with the student, demands a strong collection of, and connection to, multiple resources.
