q2 i? Teachers described four intervention strategies forming an escalation ladder: proactive whole-class instruction, quiet watching, a private conversation opened with curiosity rather than judgment, and referral to counselors first and parents second. → Qing Xiao 2026

q2 · i? · qualitative · r2
Qualitative interview finding (RQ2). Proactive teaching belonged almost entirely to the academic scenarios; teachers described one-on-one conversations opened "with curiosity rather than judgment" and referral as being "an extra set of eyes".
"The four strategies teachers described form an escalation ladder: proactive instruction before any problem appears, quiet watching while nothing is yet wrong, a private conversation once effects surface, and referral when the case exceeds what a conversation can hold."
