Resource Teachers: Learning and Behaviour (RTLB) Service
Resource Teachers: Learning and Behaviour (RTLB) were established in schools in 1999 as part of the Special Education 2000 policy. The primary role of an RTLB is to provide itinerant specialist support to, and work with, students and teachers in order to improve the education outcomes for students with moderate learning and/or behaviour difficulties.
Currently there are 781 RTLB positions in 197 clusters of schools. Forty-five RTLB Māori provide support specifically to meet the needs of Māori students.
Any comments or questions should be directed to the RTLB Project Team Leader.
