“…Second, the growing incorporation of support professionals in Chilean schools occurred without an explicit intervention model but under the assumption of specific, intensive, and individual support in connection with a targeted educational policy. Instead of proposing a comprehensive EBP school intervention model, it was assumed that psychologists and social workers should work with students with the greatest needs (López et al, 2021), which has resulted in predominantly individual intervention with the most distressed students, which is called “case” or “crisis” intervention (Carrasco Aguilar et al, 2019; Cortéz et al, 2019; Gatica, 2015), with merely episodic or symbolic Tier 1 interventions such as organizing an annual “day of school climate” (Jarpa-Arriagada et al, 2020) and significant distance from the pedagogical actions of regular classroom teachers (Cárcamo-Vásquez et al, 2020; Montecinos et al, 2018). These qualitative findings represent a warning about the encapsulated roles of these professionals (López et al, 2011), unclear roles and functions (Cárcamo-Vásquez et al, 2020; Gatica, 2015), demands from school principals and teachers to work on issues considered outside of their role (Cárcamo-Vásquez et al, 2020), tensions with teachers (Montecinos et al, 2018), and interventions separate from the pedagogical process (Jarpa-Arriagada et al, 2020).…”
