Description Resident Supervisory Support for Teachers (RSST) is an instructional support process designed to improve classroom instruction by training existing school personnel to use an adaptation of Robert Goldhammer's model with an emphasis on interpersonal communication skills, conferencing and data gathering techniques. The program helps teachers to capitalize on their strengths and compensate for weaknesses. It is designed to provide instructional support for effective, less effective, experienced and inexperienced teachers. This process may be utilized with instructors on all levels and disciplines (elementary, secondary, higher education). The ultimate goal of the training program is to provide each participating school with a cadre of peer coaches.

No special staff or facility is required to implement RSST. Persons interested in implementing the program must complete an initial two-day training session and a one-day follow-up session after implementation. The program is available for adoption by individual schools and/or school districts. Training manuals are $20 per copy.

Awareness materials are available at no cost. The program staff is available for awareness, training, and/or follow-up at the adopter site. Individual technical assistance is available as needed. Costs for all services are negotiable.
