give them a bit of space, but make it double duty, if possible. a resource teacher coming into your room for part of the day may have to teach in small group at a bank of student desks or a table that kids sit at during another time of day. a paraprofessional shouldn't be sitting at a desk all day long, but should be helping you to teach and monitor. consider a small area for this person to keep her things. you do not need two teacher desks. this takes up too much space in most classroom.
