The aim of the study is to reveal the views of classroom teachers who worked at resource rooms on the practices about these learning spaces. The study is designed as a case study which is part of qualitative research methods. The participants of the study were chosen using the criterion sampling that is one of the purposive sampling techniques. The data of the study were collected using the semi-structured interview form developed by the authors. The data obtained were examined through the descriptive analysis technique. The findings of the study indicate that the classroom teachers sampled considered resource rooms to be beneficial. However, it is also found that their knowledge on resource rooms is limited and that they need to participate in training
