Description
It is useful to examine teachers’ perceptions of MTSS as a means to identify and address social–emotional behavioral risk. Without faith in the process, the likelihood of obtaining trustworthy data for decision-making and intervention fidelity may be substantially lessened. This study reports results from a survey completed by 55 primary teachers regarding their views on MTSS for social–emotional risk.
