"The intersection between SWPBIS and equity is vital to implementing an equitable tiered framework that allows for the positive development of every student in school. I greatly appreciate the authors' intentional focus on centering culture within a PBIS framework to address the needs of marginalized and minoritized students. This resource is extraordinarily timely and essential for helping educators develop and implement a SWPBIS framework that is culturally responsive to students' needs to ensure equitable outcomes for all students."
