“…SSP and educators can collaborate in obtaining the requisite "buy-in" from key stakeholders, such as teachers and parents, to promote the integration of a social-emotional focus into rural schools. Further, researchers have established that interventions must be acceptable (i.e., viewed as fair, reasonable, appropriate, and consistent with stakeholders' expectations) to be implemented; therefore, SSP can assist in selecting and modifying a social-emotional learning program that fits the local context (Huddleston, 2013;Meyers, Tobin, Huber, Conway, & Shelvin, 2015). SSP may interview various stakeholders to identify specific problems that need to be addressed and to adapt to fit the needs of the school and larger community (Meyers et al, 2015).…”
