I suppose it would depend on how you use the books.   I'm assuming that
your use of different call numbers are to indicate location?   If location
doesn't matter as much as knowing how many copies are available for
students to check out, then different call numbers probably don't matter
much.  If you use Follett Destiny, you could even give them all the same
call number, but then assign a Sublocation for specific copies you want
separated from the shelf copies.

But if you don't want students to check out the Teacher Resource copies,
then it might be better to catalog them using a different Circulation Type,
and then hide that type from student view.
