Abstract
The overrepresentation of culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) students in suspensions and expulsions, office discipline referrals (ODRs), and corporal punishment has been well documented. Culturally responsive practices involve utilizing the cultural knowledge, life experiences, and learning styles of CLD students to make learning more relevant and effective for them. Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) involves individualized and sustained decision-making, planning, and problem solving, which are intertwined with instructional foci directed toward behavioral expectations. Combining PBIS with cultural and linguistic variables will help to enhance the positive behavior of CLD students.
