Abstract: This descriptive qualitative study explores types of support teachers seek when developing their classroom management or addressing challenging behavior. This paper explores how teachers assess the effectiveness and fit of strategies and resources used to address challenging behavior. Through interviews and artifacts, we examined how nine teachers discussed their selection, implementation, and assessment of behavior management strategies throughout an academic year (beginning, middle, and end). Results indicated that teachers sought support in both in-person and online formats. In-person support included colleagues, informal and formal mentors, school administration and staff, texts, parents, and professional development. Online formats included social media platforms and school resources.
