PBIS is fundamentally incompatible with trauma-informed practices. PBIS is fundamentally incompatible with restorative practices. PBIS upholds white supremacy. I will die on this hill forever & always.
I just watched a little bit of a webinar thing where 2 guys who sell an app that is based off of PBIS talked about how PBIS upholds white supremacy. Soooo when are you deleting your app?
I just want to add: a lot of people are asking about research/looking for one great article that breaks this all down. There are several resources linked in the thread, but really, if you don't understand my tweet, one article isn't going to help you get there.
Learn more about white supremacy. learn more about how racism operates within schools. Read the book Pushout and ask yourself if PBIS would have helped or harmed any of the girls whose stories Morris shares in that book. This isn't a "read one article and you'll get it" thing.
That said I'm really glad to see I'm not dying on this hill alone 😂and grateful that so many others are willing to examine their practices.
I almost ended this tweet with "don't @ me" and maybe I should have lol
