Stress, Biases, or Professionalism: What Drives Teachers' Referral Judgments of Students with Challenging Behaviors?

Abidin, Richard R.; Robinson, Lina L.

Journal of Emotional and Behavioral Disorders, v10 n4 p204-12 Win 2002

This study explored relative contributions of variables underlying 30 elementary teachers' referral judgments. Best predictors of referral were teachers' judgments about presence of behavioral problems and students' academic competence, while demography, off-task behavior, and teachers' stress failed to contribute significantly.
