Considering some of the well-known limitations to in-person service delivery, consultants have increasingly relied on telecommunications as a medium through which to deliver problem-solving consultation, namely teleconsultation. Thus, this paper serves as a practical guide for school consultants, who work with educators and caregivers, on how to implement each stage of the problem-solving teleconsultation process. With an emphasis given to supports delivered through technology, we provide general guidance and empirically-supported recommendations for how to develop and maintain a strong working alliance with consultees, engage in effective communication practices, strive for equitable practices when collaborating with ethnically and racially diverse populations, monitor treatment progress and deliver performance feedback, and deliver teleconsultation in accordance with state and federal law.","PeriodicalId":46759,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Educational and Psychological Consultation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42926995","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consultation provided to each PST included training in the use of a problem-solving protocol (i.e., Outcomes: Planning Monitoring, and Evaluating [Outcomes: PME]) and subsequent performance feedback and training regarding team use of the protocol. A train-the-trainer model was used whereby researchers trained school psychologists to deliver the intervention and serve as coaches on the PSTs. At baseline, all three PSTs demonstrated low (i.e., <50%) problem-solving procedural integrity (i.e., the degree to which critical components of the problem-solving process were implemented), often scoring lowest for problem-solving components related to data collection and analysis (e.g., treatment integrity, progress monitoring, and pre-post intervention data). Each PST demonstrated increased problem-solving integrity following implementation of the first intervention component, problem-solving information and Outcomes: PME training. Procedural integrity also increased for the two PSTs that received the second intervention component, performance feedback. An increase in procedural integrity was not found for one PST that received the third intervention component, targeted consulting; however, data collection was incomplete. Results are discussed in terms of future research priorities to examine consultation that promotes the use of quality team problem-solving components.","PeriodicalId":46759,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Educational and Psychological Consultation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44854613","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Teachers in 15 EC classrooms participated as consultees. The consultative coaches received training that included learning (a) specific content based on evidence-based practices in positive and preventative classroom strategies, (b) coaching practices, and (c) implementation processes. Consultative coaching targeting research-based Tier I positive support environments and instructional social-emotional learning strategies occurred over an 8-week period, and included baseline and ongoing observations, feedback, and joint planning with the EC teachers. Observations using multiple measures examined the influence of coaching. Pre- to post-consultation data suggest this model holds potential for (a) increasing positive, preventative classroom qualities and (b) fostering positive change in teachers’ instruction. Implications and future directions for an efficacy trial to confirm causal hypotheses regarding the role of consultative coaching practices in EC classrooms are addressed.","PeriodicalId":46759,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Educational and Psychological Consultation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42618167","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thirty-three school professionals, including teachers, counselors, and social workers (70% female, 20% persons of color, 18% bilingual) shared their perceptions of experiences of EBLs attending high schools in the United States. In this pre-consultation qualitative data collection, themes were identified from six focus groups. Analyses revealed school, family, peer, and individual influences tied to EBLs’ well-being. Participants recommended that schools institute culturally-specific structures to support EBLs, but also intervene with non-EBLs, general education teachers, and mainstream curriculum. Findings suggest that schools revise how they support the academic needs of EBLs. While English as a Second Language programs are commonplace in high school EBLs’ language development, participants recommended that such programs should not isolate students from their non-EBL counterparts. Participants also recommended increased access to advanced classes. Implications for systems-level consultation are discussed.","PeriodicalId":46759,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Educational and Psychological Consultation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44126195","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Multiple regression was used to explore the role of teacher engagement in the IECMHC process on child-level behavioral outcomes. Of the referred children receiving IECMHC, 3.9% were expelled. From pre- to posttest, teachers reported significant reductions in behavior concerns (both frequency and the perception of the behaviors as “problematic”) and expulsion risk (based on teacher perception of child behavior).
