The BEP Video
Overview of the Process
•Universal Prevention-School-wide programs for everyone-Goal: Reduce new cases of problem
behavior-Example: PBS
•Targeted Prevention-Target group interventions-Goal: Reduce current cases of problem behavior-Example: Behavior Education Plan (BEP)
•Indicated Prevention-Individualized intervention for specific student needs-Goal: Reduce intensity or severity of current cases-Example: Functional Behavioral Assessment (FBA)
*80% of Students
*15% of Students
*5% of Students
Continuum of Behavior Support
Adapted from www.pbis.org
Behavior PrinciplesAt-risk students benefit from:• Clearly defined expectations• Frequent feedback• Positive reinforcement
At-risk students should have someone they can count on for continued support.
Behavior Education Program
Goal of BEP/CICO
To prevent students who are acting out from escalation and
provide them with more frequent feedback on their behavior to
prevent future problem behavior
Critical Features of BEP/CICO
Intervention is continuously available Rapid access to intervention (72 hr) Very low effort by teachers Positive System of Support
Students agree to participate Implemented by all staff/faculty in a school Flexible intervention based on assessment
Functional Assessment Adequate resources allocated (admin, team) Continuous monitoring for decision-making
Successful Implementation Requires:
Foundation of universal behavior support-SET score-PBIS implemented well for some time
-TIC Score -SAS Score Administrative support Feedback to staff and from staff
Things to Consider First…
Establishment of a Universal System (School-Wide) Does Not Guarantee Individual Teachers are Implementing with High Integrity
Students Who Appear “At-Risk” May Benefit More When Teacher Improves Skills in Behavior Management Than Participate in Targeted Interventions
Is It Really Resistance For Intervention?
Before Implementing a Secondary Intervention, You Must Ask:
Is the Student Receiving an Adequate “DOSE” of the Universal Intervention?
Tracking the Positive Analysis of number of positive behavior
tickets to discipline tickets to insure maintenance of at least 5:1 ratio
Analysis of number of positive behavior tickets by group (e.g., at-risk & high risk groups)
Analysis of number of positive behavior tickets by teacher
Components often overlooked:
Positive Parent Contact Random Reinforcement Strategies Positive Public Posting Continuous Behavioral Feedback
for Students Data on Positive Reinforcement Other Enhancements…
How are we providing services to these students?
BEP?
Tyree
For Whom is the BEP/CICO Appropriate?
Appropriate Low level problem behavior (not severe) 3-7 referrals Adult Attention Behavior occurs across multiple locations Examples
talking out minor disruptions work completion
SWIS: Referrals by Student
For Whom is the BEP/CICO NOT Appropriate?
Inappropriate Serious or violent behaviors/infractions Extreme chronic behaviors (8 to 10
referrals) Require more individual support
Functional Assessment Wrap around services One on one assistant Behavioral specialist involved
Successful Implementation Requires:
Foundation of universal behavior support
Understanding of behavioral function Faculty agreement to:
Support all students Use recommended secondary
interventions Data-based decision-making Resources to start program

Things to say at check in…· Wow! You brought back your agenda book! · You’re here on time again -Great!· Looks like you’re all set to go· It’s great to see you this morning· Looks like you’re ready for a good day· You’re off to a good start· You look so nice this morning · You look happy to be here this morning· I like the way you said “good morning” · Thanks for coming to check in· Sounds like you had a good weekend We missed you yesterday (if student was absent), nice to see you today
Things to say at check out…. · You had a great (awesome, terrific, etc) day!· You’re right on target· Your mom/dad is going to be so proud of you· You’re really working hard!· You are such a good student· You made your goal- wow!· Looks like today didn’t go so well- I know you can do it tomorrow· I know it was a tough day- thanks for coming to check out · We all have bad days once and awhile- I know you can do it tomorrow· You look a little frustrated- what happened?* If a student looks upset take a few minutes to “just listen” Looks like you were having some trouble today. I know you can turn it around tomorrow.
Building the advanced cycles Planning for success
How does student move off CICO? Adding self-management options to CICO
Moving from CICO to individualized behavior support.
Functional behavioral assessment Comprehensive behavior support
Substitute Teacher use of CICO How will substitutes learn about CICO routine?

CICO Trading Post
Plan for the future: We want self-managers
Embed self-management strategies as driven by the data Use natural signals for monitoring as much as
possible Self-monitor Self-record, check for accuracy Fewer check points during the day
Maintain AM and PM times for awhile Manage own CICO account
More on self management in the future…..
Check-in/ Check-out Self-Assessment
Individually score the elements of the CICO Self-Assessment
In place; In progress; Not in place
As a team review your ratings, and agree on a single summary for the school
For elements not scored as “in place” define the actions that will move you toward implementation. Who will do what, when?
Define a schedule for meeting to review progress and implement your CICO plan.
Assessing of CICO is right for your school
What do Targeted Interventions do? Increase access to adult attention Increase access to peer attention Increase access to activity choice Acceptable options for avoiding aversive activities Acceptable options for avoiding aversive social Increased structure (prompts for approp behavior) Structured times for feedback (5 per day) Enhanced home-school communication Development of self-management skills
CICO Self-Assess
Why does BEP/CICO Work?
For students Program can be applied in all school locations Acknowledgement for appropriate behavior Linked school and home support Program is organized to morph into self-monitoring
For Schools Program requires minimal resources Requires minimal time and effort from teachers Can be easily modified to meet needs of multiple
students Incorporates data-based decision-making
Roles & Responsibilities School team
Identify students who may benefit Monitor implementation Evaluate effects and modify/fade as needed
Coordinator Facilitate morning and afternoon checks (in & out) Get signed form from students, give new form Maintain positive, constructive environment Acknowledge successes
Teachers Obtain form from student each day Monitor student behavior and mark card accurately Provide feedback to student in positive and constructive manner
Students Check in and out each day Give form to teacher Meet expectations Take form home and have parents sign, bring to school the next
day
Monitoring BEP/CICO Identified CICO Team
Identifies students who may benefit Coordinates implementation Reviews student progress Makes modifications as needed
Data for decision making Team must have access to data Team reviews data at least bi-weekly
Monitoring Outcomes
Percent of possible points earned Teacher-completed summaries Direct observations
Data Management Summarize points across days
Manually Electronically
Graph data for easy presentation Data shared with staff at least
quarterly on how students are doing 9-week graph sent to parents, if
appropriate
Modifying BEP/CICO
Peer attention: Provide peer attention for meeting expectations
Check out with friend Sit with friend(s) at lunch Brief free time with friend at end or class
Task avoidance: breaks, shorten work requirement Access to assistance Preferred work modality (e.g., groups)
Schedule of reinforcement More frequent check-ins Highly preferred coordinator Pair attention with other rewards
Potential Pitfalls• Fidelity
– Assess teacher commitment/enthusiasm– Re-teach– Teacher self monitoring
• Student won’t carry card– Student checks in and out– Coordinator provides card to teacher and picks up
• Student continues to receive feedback from teacher
– Self monitoring– Computerized system
• Student isn’t checking in or out– Determine reason– Identify preferred person to check in/out with– Is this component needed?
Things Went Well… What Now?
Data-based decision-making Ways to remove
Move to self-monitoring Remove components
Removing Components of BEP/CICO
Gradually decrease checks during the day (keep check in and out)
Remove check out Remove parent feedback Remove check in Monitor behavior throughout
Self Monitoring After BEP/CICO Expected behaviors stay the same Reinforcers stay the same Student checks in same amount of
times Student monitors behavior using
CICO card Plan for teaching accuracy in
monitoring
Example: Shaniqua• Has been on CICO for 3.5 months; she has earned 90% of
points each week for the last 10 weeks• Coordinator provides rationale for self monitoring to Shaniqua
– Coordinator teaches her to self monitor using examples and non-examples
– When program begins,her teacher goes over examples and non-examples
– First week: Student and teacher monitor and compare records• Teacher provides acknowledgement and feedback based on accuracy
Ratings agree 95% of time
– Second week• Teacher monitors appx. 60% of time; feedback based on accuracy• Feedback at other times based on Shaniqua’s monitoring of behavior
– Coordinator• Feedback based on accuracy (with teacher records)• When Shaniqua monitors independently, feedback based on behavior
You know, Mr. Stup, what I liked about BEP… Every day I got to talk to my administrator about how I was doing. The teachers weren’t raggin’ on me all the time. They had something to say to me that wasn’t always negative. My parents were proud when I brought home a good report or graph. It helped me get through 8th grade” Emanuel S. – repeating 8th grade
- 15 years old – in danger of repeating again by early November 2007
Lessons Learned• Action Plan Well- take your time• Start Small• Meet often at beginning of implementation phase• Select staff who are positive and students trust• Provide support to BEP coordinators• Appoint and train a back up coordinator• Carefully select students• Keeping students too long or not long enough• Staggering
Is My School Ready to Implement a BEP System?
School-wide system of behavior support in place
Staff buy-in for implementation of the BEP Administrative support
Time & money allocated No major changes in school climate
e.g. teacher strikes, administrative turnover, major changes in funding
BEP implementation a top priority
How Do You Build Student and Staff “buy-in” for the BEP?
Give BEP program a high profile in your school
Promote BEP as positive support not punishment
Collaboratively involve referring teachers in BEP process
Provide regular feedback to staff, students, and families
Training Teachers on BEP System
In-service on the “spirit” of program supportive, not punitive immediate feedback on behavior (type of
statements, what the ratings mean, examples of feedback)
follow-up forum to express concerns individual coaching boosters needed at least yearly
Training Students on BEP System
Meet with parents and students
Modeling and Practice
Accepting Feedback
Decision-Making Goal

Prior to implementation, it is recommended that the following features be in place. Please check the answer that best describes
your school at this time.
Check in Check out Referral ProcessCheck in Check out Referral Process
Check in Check out is a targeted group intervention that is designed to support students who are at-risk for developing significant behavior problems. To refer a student to the CICO program, please complete the following steps.1. Complete a Check in Check out referral form (available in the office)2. Return the form to __________’s mailbox3. When the form is received, ___________ will contact you to set up a brief interview (10-15 minutes)4. During the interview, we will determine whether CICO is appropriate for the student, and gather information to begin the program.5. If it is determined the CICO is NOT appropriate for the student, we will work with you to determine an alternative.6. If it is determined that CICO is appropriate for the student, a letter will be sent home to the caregiver.7. Upon receiving parental permission, we will contact you to begin the program.
Please be aware that it typically takes 5 days to start the program after the completion of the interview.

I would like to include your child in our Behavior Education Program. A report will be filled out daily by the teacher(s) and checked at the end of the day by our coordinator, Mrs. Williams. Students will need to pick up their report every morning between 8:45 and 9:00 a.m. and then return to Mrs. Williams between 3:45 and 4:00 p.m. The student will be able to earn incentives and rewards for appropriate behavior. As parents, you are responsible for making sure your child arrives on time each day for check-in and that you review and sign the daily BEP Report. Together, we can make this a positive experience for your child._____ I do give consent for my student to participate._____ I do not give consent for my student to participate.___________________________________ Date _________________________ ( Parent / Guardian )
