معرفی
Robert Turbide serves as a Part-Time Lecturer at the School of Psychoeducation, Faculty of Arts and Sciences, University of Montreal since 2014. His dual expertise combines academic instruction with frontline consulting for Quebec's school service centers, focusing on systemic solutions for students with severe behavioral challenges and school environment organization.
His research and professional practice target inclusive education frameworks, particularly crisis intervention models for behavioral difficulties. He pioneered the award-winning 'Répit-Conseil' and 'Répit-Transit' services, establishing structured protocols for immediate educator support during student behavioral crises. His work emphasizes practical implementation of inclusion policies through staff training and environmental restructuring.
While his sole documented publication is a 2005 book chapter on service model typologies for integrating students with difficulties, his impact extends through extensive conference presentations at Aqeta, Teva, CQJDC, CETREQ, and MELS. These contributions highlight applied research translating directly to classroom practices.
Scientific recognition includes:
- Prix de la psychoéducation (2004) for innovative service development
Regarding supervision and funding, Turbide's role centers on course instruction rather than graduate mentorship. His historical research collaborations with UQAM (1996-2001, 2007-2008) demonstrate grant-funded project leadership, though current funding status isn't specified. His 7-year secondment to Quebec's Ministry of Education underscores governmental recognition of his expertise in scaling interventions across school networks.
