Enhance your positive behavioral interventions and supports (PBIS) to do what’s best for all students. With this equity-focused guide by Sharroky Hollie and Daniel Russell, Jr., you will discover a clear road map for aligning PBIS with cultural and linguistic responsiveness (CLR). Dive deep into why there is an urgent need for this alignment and then learn how to move forward to better serve your learners, especially those from historically underserved populations.
Integrate culturally and linguistically responsive teaching with your PBIS strategies:

- Gain clarity around culturally and linguistically responsive (CLR) teaching strategies in the classroom.
- Understand the difference between authentic and inauthentic CLR alignment to PBIS.
- Acquire practical steps, suggestions, and recommendations for being culturally and linguistically responsive in the classroom as well as across schools and districts.
- Give students the language, activities, and procedures to be situationally appropriate for school situations affected by PBIS in the classroom.
