Kampwirth, T. J., & Powers, K. M. (2016). Collaborative consultation in the schools: effective practices for students with learning and behavior problems. Pearson.

‌This authoritative book looks at the consultation process as a collaborative, problem-solving endeavor designed to help practitioners assist others in their work with students who have, or are at risk for, behavioral or learning problems. With a focus on having consultants bridge the gap between research and practice in schools, and on striving to initiate evidence-based practices whenever possible, the authors stress providing interventions that are proportional to the student’s needs.

‌School psychologists consistently indicate that consultation is a crucial component of their duties but that they lack sufficient opportunities to develop their corresponding knowledge, skills, and confidence during graduate training. Building Competence in School Consultation directly addresses the need for practical, comprehensive consultation training, including support materials, for school psychologists, counselors, and other professionals working in schools.

Teacher resistance to frequent rewards and praise: Lack of skill or a wise decision?
Bear, G. G. (2013). Teacher resistance to frequent rewards and praise: Lack of skill or a wise decision? Journal of Educational & Psychological Consultation, 23(4), 318–340.
There are multiple potential reasons for resistance and lack of implementation fidelity in general, but three pertain specifically to the use of rewards and praise as commonly prescribed by behavioral consultants: (a) conflicts with teacher's philosophy, training, and educational aims; (b) the teacher's recognition that change is not needed; and (c) the teacher's recognition of the limitations of frequent and systematic use of rewards and praise. As discussed in this article, those reasons often are valid but also can be addressed by consultants and researchers in ways that are likely to reduce resistance and increase fidelity of implementation.
