What is CR-PBIS? It’s the integration of culturally responsive practice within the evidence-based school-wide PBIS framework Adapted from PBIS Indiana
WHY focus on Cultural Responsiveness? • Absence of any groups’ experience and voice leaves all groups at a disadvantage to appropriately and completely interact as humans. • It detracts from all of our humanity when WE consciously or unconsciously leave out individuals’ culture. • Prevents conflict and misunderstandings among different cultural groups Adapted from PBIS Indiana

The Equity Project, Indiana University “Culturally responsive PBIS does not involve augmenting SWPBIS with culturally responsive practices in an additive manner. Rather, CR-PBIS involves the infusion of culturally responsive practices throughout the implementation of SWPBIS.”
