Purpose of Presentation
Discuss the results of a study which explored Latino parents’ perspectives and agreement with positive behavior intervention and support (PBIS) principles as they relate to behavior management in elementary schools.
Outline the convergences and divergences between Latino parents’ perspectives on behavior management and PBIS principles and practices.
Identify cultural barriers that may limit the effectiveness of PBIS with Latino families.
Present strategies for collaborating with Latino parents to improve the effectiveness of PBIS in schools.

Hispanic or Latino? By the year 2050, Latinos will comprise nearly 30%
of the U.S. population (Passel & Cohn, 2008),
Although the terms Hispanic and Latino are typically used interchangeably, for a certain segment of the Spanish-speaking population, the term Latino signifies “ethnic pride” while Hispanic is seen as an imposition of the Anglo establishment (American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition, 2000)
For purposes of the present study, the term Latino will be used over Hispanic to signify Latino fathers and mothers who reside in the U.S., are of Spanish ancestry, and speak Spanish as their first language.

Latino Parents and Behavior Review of the literature suggests that Latino
parenting practices are heterogeneous and not necessarily congruent with the principles of PBIS. Some Latino parents may perceive the use of positive
reinforcement as leading to the loss of their children’s respect (Garrison, Roy, & Azar, 1999)
Latina mothers of preschool children described praise and social rewards as acceptable but objected to the elimination of spanking from their repertoire of parenting practices (Calzada, Basil, and Fernandez (2012)
Educated Latino parents may talk to their children and also use corporal punishment whereas less educated parents may resort only to physical punishment (Fontes, 2002)
![Page 6: Latino Parents’ Perspectives on Positive Behavioral Supports in the Schools Alicia Hoerner, Ph.D. Christian Sabey, M.S. Brandon Segura, Ph.D. Utah MTSS](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649cf35503460f949c1710/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Latino Students and Behavior Despite its encouraging evidence-based outcomes,
it remains to be shown empirically whether PBIS framework is in fact helpful among those of linguistically and culturally diverse backgrounds (Kamps & Greenwood, 2005; OSEP on Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports, 2004) Latino students continue to be disproportionately
represented in discipline outcomes even in schools implementing PBIS (Kaufman et al. 2010; Skiba et al., 2011; Vincent, Swain-Bradway, Tobin, & May, 2011)
Available SWPBS studies typically average data across entire student populations and do not disaggregate results by racial or ethnic background (Vincent et al., 2011)
There is need for more culturally sensitive research addressing preferred behavior management practices of Latino parents and their acceptability of common school based practices such as PBIS
![Page 7: Latino Parents’ Perspectives on Positive Behavioral Supports in the Schools Alicia Hoerner, Ph.D. Christian Sabey, M.S. Brandon Segura, Ph.D. Utah MTSS](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649cf35503460f949c1710/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Latino Parents, Students, and PBIS
Since PBIS emphasizes the systematic teaching and timely reinforcement of appropriate behaviors rather than a focus on punishing inappropriate behaviors, it is possible that it may represent a divergence from Latino parents’ preferred strategies for behavior management.
There is a continued interest for culturally responsive PBIS implementation (Sugai et al., 2010; Wang, 2007) the foundational principles and values of PBIS may be
understood differently or be perceived as unacceptable by families from other cultures (Cheremshynski, Lucyshyn, Olson, 2012; Wang, 2007).
future studies need to address preferred behavior management practices of Latino parents and their acceptability of common school based practices such as PBIS

• Addressing behavior before or after it occurs
• Changing of the environment vs. the student changing

Convergences Need for consistency of intervention with the teaching of replacement behaviors Parents endorsed the idea of preventing misbehavior from happening before it happens, but they often did not endorse specific practices that would prevent misbehavior

inappropriate behavior “dialogue” with both students involved Find out “why” Explain why aggression is inappropriate, then

consequences such as removing favored items or activities
Suspension is not aversive as “kids like to stay home”

Results: Themes from vignettes Use of rewards
“Ok but not use candy”; “use certificates for highlighting good effort and good grades”
Do not reward all the time or “student will only behave when rewarded”
Reward with praise Rewards are good if used to build motivation
and enhance self-esteem
Desire that justice be served “teachers ignore misbehavior”; “they are not strict enough”

Unfamiliarity with behavior management strategies needed to establish and maintain appropriate behavior, specifically: Antecedent control Environmental manipulation
Only 1/3 of respondents endorsed it as an effective strategy
Belief that talking -> understanding -> change Misbehavior perceived as a skill deficit?
Belief in the power of punishment and reactive strategies (e.g., behavior only needs to be addressed when there is a problem)
Language differences, which may contribute to the lack of communication between school and home that many parents reported

Have an effective culture broker
Increase parental awareness of the effectiveness of behavior management strategies specifically, antecedent control and environmental manipulation. Misconceptions related to reinforcement
As suggested by Fontes (2002), discussing with parents the way their preferred approaches for dealing with behavior “are and are not working” may prepare the way for presenting alternative approaches such as the principles of PBIS
Improve the quality of the communication between schools and parents so that it is bilateral.
Utilize existing avenues of parent involvement to increase and improve communication and parent knowledge of management strategies etc.

Encouraging results Latino parents moderately endorsed PBIS
principles and practices (between 61% and 91%)
Parents expressed a desire to be involved in improving behavior management practices in the schools
Anecdotally, Latino parents were excited to provide input into the behavior management strategies
