• In Event: 67.044 - Leaders at Multiple Levels Who Address Issues of Access and Equity

Abstract

Educators in the United States have a legal and ethical obligation to maximize the level of equity for all students. The school district in this study has been engaged in excellence through equity work for three years, both independently, and in collaboration with other regional school districts. One important related effort was to implement PBIS in its schools. The purpose of this research was to explore how PBIS and equity interacted according to school and district leaders.
