Check-In, Check-Out: A Tier 2 Intervention For Students At Risk

Check-In, Check-Out (CICO), also known as the Behavior Education Program, is the most widely implemented Tier 2 intervention for the 10-15% of K-12 students who exhibit chronic, mild behaviour problems.

Now significantly expanded, this professional training video illustrates the key components of CICO and shows how school personnel and parents can quickly and effectively support positive behaviour throughout the day. CICO is ideal for implementation in multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS) or positive behaviour interventions and support (PBIS) frameworks.

The chapter format of the DVD allows users to quickly navigate to specific segments. Special features include reproducible forms, PowerPoint training materials, and two graphing programs for managing daily data. (First edition title: The Behavior Education Program.)

New to This Edition:

• Broader grade range: now includes high school examples.
• Summarises the CICO research base and integrates lessons learned from over 16 years of implementation.
• Chapters on modifying CICO for attendance issues, internalising behaviours, and individualised intervention.
• Spanish-language chapter introducing CICO to parents.
• Expanded FAQ chapter.
• Several new and updated reproducible tools.

""The second edition of the CICO DVD program provides an updated description of the logic and day-to-day operations of CICO. Of special value is the emphasis on how CICO can be adapted for use at elementary, middle, and high school levels. The messages from teachers, administrators, and students are compelling, and supplement the research base demonstrating that CICO is both efficient and effective. School personnel considering CICO will benefit from seeing what the program looks like, how the data function as a positive element in the school day, and how teacher teams can work to address emerging problem behavior patterns early."

"The use of CICO has expanded exponentially in schools throughout the United States and internationally, and its effectiveness has been demonstrated with a range of behavior problems. This updated DVD offers step-by-step instructions for implementing CICO, from aligning it within a multi-tiered support system to summarizing data. It is a complete resource for training school or program staff to implement CICO. Examples of dos and don'ts illustrate how to make the intervention most effective and efficient. After watching this DVD, school staff will have an understanding of how to seamlessly and feasibly blend CICO with ongoing systems of support in their schools. I will definitely use this DVD in my Positive Behavior Support class."
