  3. Purpose Describe & discuss guidelines for implementing SWPBS in educational settings in ways that are culturally & contextually relevant, & promote educationally & socially important positive outcomes for all students

  4. Agenda

  5. “Quotes” • “Doesn’t seem right that black males have the highest rates of out of school suspension incidents & days in our middle & high schools. What’s that all about?” • “What a deviant group of kids; they aren’t responding to our program?” • “Our Hispanic/Latino kids are 3 times more likely to dropout of school than any other demographic in our district.” • “Why are so many kids of color are being referred to special education?” • “No wonder families are disengaged; what happens at school is so foreign & uninviting.” • “The school is located in the hub of the community, but it functions like a different country.”

  11. Early Conclusion… Nothing is inherently biased or culturally irrelevant about practices & systemsof PBIS implementation. However, we definitely can improve kid outcomes by making enhancements that make those practices & systems more reflective of the norms, expectations, & learning histories ofkids, family & community members, & school staff.
