Abstract

Proposed study examines teachers' experiences in providing support for vulnerable children. Pilot study showed that teachers focus on behavioral cues to identify vulnerability, while addressing challenges like limited peer training and high staff turnover. We collect interviews, observations, and visual materials to understand teacher support towards identified and unidentified vulnerability.
