Beyond the Buzzword: Examining the Inclusivity of a High School's PBIS Program

The essay critically examines the effectiveness of Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) programs in schools, questioning their inclusivity for diverse student populations. While advocates highlight improvements in school climate and reductions in disciplinary issues, the author explores potential shortcomings that may hinder equitable support for students with varying backgrounds and needs. By addressing these limitations, the discussion aims to foster a deeper understanding of PBIS and its implications for all learners.
