With the emergence of interventions shown to reduce school discipline disparities, it is important to explore what variables influence educators to implement these approaches. In-depth interviews were conducted with a purposeful sample of 21 educators asked to describe their experiences implementing an equity-focused Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) intervention. A qualitative method called the Enhanced Critical Incident Technique was used to generate 22 representative categories from 241 observable incidents reported. Findings included 14 helping categories, four hindering categories, and four categories describing what could have made implementing the intervention easier. Implications for enhancing educators' use of equity-focused disciplinary approaches are discussed along with current research, theory, and consultation models.
