Check In Check Out:A Targeted Intervention

Rob Horner, George Sugai, Anne Todd, Celeste Rossetto Dickey, Cindy Anderson, Terry ScottUniversity of Oregon and University of Connecticut

GoalsDefine the logic and core features of Targeted Interventions, and the specifics of the Check-in/Check-out (CICO) approach.

Provide empirical evidence supporting CICO, and practical examples from local schools.

Self-assess if CICO is appropriate for your school

Build action plan for CICO implementation

CICO within School-wide PBIS

All specialized interventions are more effective, and more durable, if they are done with school-wide behavioral expectations as a foundation.

TOTAL POINTS

Why does CICO work?Improved structure

Prompts are provided throughout the day for correct behavior.System for linking student with at least one positive adult.Student chooses to participate.

Student is “set up for success”First contact each morning is positive.“Blow-out” days are pre-empted.First contact each class period (or activity period) is positive, and sets up successful behavioral momentum.

Increase in contingent feedbackFeedback occurs more often.Feedback is tied to student behavior.Inappropriate behavior is less likely to be ignored or rewarded.

Why does CICO work?Student recruits adult support

Student uses card to recruit adult attention.Very low “effort” for teacher

Program can be applied in all school locationsClassroom, playground, cafeteria (anywhere there is a supervisor)

Elevated reward for appropriate behaviorAdult and peer attention delivered each target periodAdult attention (and tangible) delivered at end of day

Why does CICO Work?Linking behavior support and academic support

For academic-based, escape-maintained problem behavior incorporate academic support

Linking school and home supportProvide format for positive student/parent contact

Program is organized to morph into a self-management system

Increased options for making choicesIncreased ability to self-monitor performance/progress

Logistics for Setting up a CICO program

1. Faculty and staff commitmentIs problem behavior a major concern?Are staff willing to commit 5 min per day?Is CICO a reasonable option for us?

More than 5 students need extra supportCICO is designed to work with 10-12% of kids in a schoolCICO typically “works” (50% reduction) with 67% of students.CICO does NOT replace need for individualized supports.

2. Team available / Coordinator availableTeam leaderCICO coordinator (morning, afternoon)Team (meets at least once every two weeks)

Activity1:

a) All-Faculty Orientation to CICO

b) Assessment of need (ODR rates, staff assessment)

c) Team to manage CICO

d) CICO coordinator


3. School-wide PBS in placeSchool-wide expectations defined and taughtReward system operatingClear and consistent consequences for problem behavior

4. Process for identifying a student who may be appropriate for CICO

Student is not responding to SWPBS expectationsRequest for Assistance

Student finds adult attention rewardingStudent is NOT in crisis.

Activity 2:

a) SWPBIS Tier I in place (TIC = 80%; SET = 80/80)

b) Request for assistance process defined.

c) Criterion for CICO support defined.


5. Daily CICO progress report cardSame expectations for allCommon scheduleAll staff taught rules for accepting, completing and returning the card.

6. Home report processCan be same as progress cardCan be a unique reporting form

Activity 3:

a) Daily Progress Report developed

b) Home report routine developed

c) Define how families will be informed of process

upward trendb) Move to Self-management

* > 6 weeks with 4 days per week of success.

a) Define self-management process.• Use card, but no teacher

review• No, card, but still check in
