Check In Check Out (CICO) A targeted and intensive approach to consistent behavior monitoring
CICO Training Agenda • Overview • Goals • Implementation • Progress monitoring • Fading the plan • Prerequisites for developing a CICO plan • CICO plan-building activity
Overview of the Check In Check Out (CICO) Tool • This is a teacher led student behavior self monitoring tool. • Provides daily support and monitoring for students who are risk for developing serious or chronic behavior problems. • CICO tracks appropriate behaviors and allows for corrective feedback for inappropriate behavior. • It provides a holistic view of a student's behavior across settings. • It can be used as a communication tool from school to home. • This is a communication tool across settings.
CICO Tool Monitor appropriate student behavior across daily schedule CICO Training Guide and direct staff in using CICO for targeted students Goals and Objectives
Populations Addressed: Targeted/ Intensive Possible problems or situations that a CICO can be used to address: • Students who need consistent on-going or intermittent evaluation, feedback and reinforcement for their appropriate behaviors across the class period and/ or school day. • Students who need consistent on-going or intermittent evaluation, feedback and reinforcement for their appropriate behaviors across common areas or specific daily routines.
Steps for Implementing a CICO (Crone et al., 2008): • Identify students who are not responding to the universal intervention/ reinforcement system and may be in need of a CICO plan. Possible data sources: discipline referrals, universal reinforcement system monitoring tools, etc. • Create CICO teaching materials and student-specific CICO card(s). • Involve parent(s) or primary stakeholder(s) from the student’s home setting(s). Will the student take copies home? How often? Will they be signed and returned?
Steps for Implementing a CICO • Develop system support for integration of CICO plan with universal system. How many CICO points are required to earn one point in the regular universal system? • Train or re-teach appropriate behavior expectations. Provide opportunities to practice appropriate behavior expectations and be reinforced for exhibiting appropriate behaviors. • Train appropriate staff in the implementation and progress monitoring of the student’s CICO plan.
Steps for Implementing a CICO • Implement CICO plan. • Track and monitor student progress and data. Insure that CICO points feed into universal system. Possible data sources: observation, points earned, discipline referrals, daily behavior ratings, weekly averages, universal reinforcement system monitoring tools, etc.
Daily Implementation Routine Maintain a standard implementation routine every day: • 1. Initial check in. • 2. Review behavior expectations. • 3. Set point goal(s). • 4. Insure that student or designated staff have CICO card. • 5. Check in with student at regular intervals. • 6. Give points and specific feedback regarding appropriate behaviors.
Daily Implementation Routine • 7. Check out at the end of the day, period, or routine. • 8. Review points and performance for that day, period, or routine. • 9. Log points and performance comments on progress monitoring sheet (can be done daily or weekly). • 10. Make a copy of the CICO for the home setting. • 11. Review weekly data for decision- making.
Develop System for Fading the Plan Goal: Move student towards self-management • Increase time intervals on card • Increase point requirements • Transition student to self-managed plan
CICO Plan Prerequisites • Plan may require some basic logistical planning for staffing duties and responsibilities, materials and systems integration (universal reinforcement system with targeted/ intensive reinforcement system) • Make sure that consistent universal and/ or classroom intervention systems and reinforcement systems are in place • Classroom behavior expectations are in place and taught • Evidence-based practices are used to implement and maintain the plan
