Students with emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD) experience a variety of externalizing and internalizing behavior problems, gaps in academic achievement, and increased rates of dropping out of school. Thus, it is essential that students with EBD receive evidence-based academic and behavioral supports from skilled and knowledgeable teachers to improve student outcomes. Unfortunately, teachers typically receive limited professional development in classroom management practices and other supports targeting the unique needs of students with EBD. In this manuscript, we describe (a) challenges in the field related to supporting students with EBD, (b) current practices in professional development, (c) a multitiered-system-of-support framework for organizing and providing professional development, and (d) the need for more research on efficient and effective professional-development supports for teachers of students with EBD.

通过有效的专业发展，缩小与情感和行为障碍学生合作的教师的研究与实践差距

患有情绪和行为障碍（EBD）的学生会遇到各种外部和内部行为问题，学业成绩差距以及辍学率上升。因此，至关重要的是，患有EBD的学生必须从熟练和知识渊博的老师那里获得基于证据的学术和行为支持，以提高学生的学习成绩。不幸的是，教师通常在课堂管理实践方面的专业发展有限，而针对EBD学生的独特需求的其他支持却很少。在本手稿中，我们描述（a）在支持EBD学生方面的挑战，（b）当前的专业发展实践，（c）用于组织和提供专业发展的多层支持系统框架，
