The Role of the RTLB

RTLBs work collaboratively with schools and families to support students who require additional assistance to achieve their learning goals. The service focuses on providing support to students with learning and behaviour difficulties, including students with special needs and those who are gifted and talented. RTLB are funded by the Ministry of Education and work in clusters to provide service to local schools. The RTLB service is accessed via referrals from schools.

Our Work

Resource teachers of learning and behaviour (RTLB) are experienced, specialist teachers who work alongside schools to improve outcomes for students. We understand that as a parent, you want the best for your child’s education. The RTLB service is here to support your child’s learning and behaviour in schools. Your local RTLB service is the Waitākere RTLB, Cluster 5.

How does the RTLB service work?

The service is available to all primary, intermediate and secondary schools in New Zealand. Schools can access the service by making a referral to their local RTLB cluster.

Once a referral has been made, an allocated RTLB will work with the school and family to support the needs of the student. We work with teachers to develop strategies and systems to improve the student’s learning and behaviour. We do this through assessment to identify next steps and developing goals to cater for learning and well-being. At each step of our service, we share our reports, plans and recommendations.
