It bears repeating. The purpose of this book is not to criticize PBIS. It is quite the opposite. Our intention is to enhance PBIS in a way that will increase its likelihood of success with underserved students, regardless of their background. Given PBIS’s prevalence, we want it to have a positive impact for the students who need it the most. In effect, we hope to meet a demand and address a need. How does PBIS look when it is implemented in a culturally and linguistically responsive way? From our knowledge, there is no other book or resource that tackles this question head on and does so unapologetically, while at the same time challenging if cultural and linguistic responsiveness has been infused with depth and fidelity, if at all. We offer a reflective process that comes with concrete examples, specific recommendations, and delineated procedures all throughout the text to engender a “no-excuse” opportunity for alignment of PBIS with CLR. We assume that our goal, albeit simple but ambitious, is the same as yours—successful and equitable outcomes for all students.
