Although teachers are ideally positioned to support increasing social-emotional needs of their students, they may not always have knowledge or confidence in implementing strategies to support the student's mental health needs. This can lead to negative perceptions of students with challenging behaviors and misunderstandings of so-call "disruptive behavior disorders". Consultation with mental health providers is one avenue which can increase skills and knowledge in this area. Consultee-centered consultation (CCC) in particular centers teacher change as the solution to classroom and student behavior challenges. This study sought to evaluate the effects of using a CCC modality to support change in teacher perceptions about student behavior, classroom climate, and classroom management. Additionally, there has been limited exploration into if this consultation modality can also yield positive change in student behavior. Results from this study suggest that teachers were satisfied with the impact this had on their classroom management style and climate and that teachers were more neutral or positive about the students with challenging behaviors and their ability to make change in their classroom. Further, progress monitoring of student behavior indicates some utility for reducing behaviors labelled "disrespectful" and "disruptive". The outcomes of the present study demonstrate the utility of this consultation model for collaborating to identify different ways of responding to and understanding behavior and refining current strategies to better meet student needs. Implications of these outcomes indicate a need for further exploring how individualizing consultation to the teacher and incorporating ways to address teacher confidence and stress throughout the consultation process can benefit student behavior and development. Limitations related to sample size and relying primarily on teacher report of change are discussed. [The dissertation citations contained here are published with the permission of ProQuest LLC.
