There are primarily three non-traditional types of educational settings:

• Itinerant teaching situations: In this situation, a teacher frequently works alone. He or she travels between families or education co-ops to direct the education of the students.
  
  This teaching situation requires a teacher with a great degree of cross-cultural experience and willingness to do more with less.
  
  
• Resource centers: This situation usually includes a library and some curriculum or teaching aids to help families when they visit the main city or center. Teachers at a resource center generally stay in one place but must be ready to help students in all grade-levels.
  
  
• One-room schools: These schools are multi-graded and meet in one class with one teacher.
