Systemic Consultation • Student’s presenting problems are viewed as resting within the interactions between the teacher & student & between the teachers & parents(White & Mullis, 1998) • The student’s behavior is seen as functional & exploration of the various contexts of the child’s life is necessary to determine the potential purpose of the behavior • The consultant explores with the teacher the history of his or her relationship with the student, examining the reciprocal interactions between the teacher & student • The consultant seeks to help the teacher generate new perspectives of the student & their relationship with the student, which often leads the teacher to develop new solutions
