Analysis of the implementation of a school consulting program aimed at helping teachers integrate adolescents with behavior disorders
This article presents some results of the evaluative research that was conducted on a collaborative school consulting program to facilitate integration of adolescents with behavior disorders in mainstream classes of secondary schools. It examines particularly the stakeholders’ perceptions regarding the conditions of program effectiveness. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with teachers (N = 42), resource persons accompanying individuals or groups (N = 11) and school managers (N = 8). According to qualitative analysis of the interviews, the program should be easily implemented with secondary teachers in order to facilitate the integration of EBD students. The problem solving process seems the core element of the program.
