Supporting Underserved Students

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 roadmap 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:

Learn where PBIS falls short and why issues around discipline persist, especially with Black and Brown students.
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.
