What constitutes a Tier 2 Intervention?◦ An intervention that:

Serves multiple students at one time (15-25 student at once) More efficient use of resources that 1 student at a time

Students can get started with almost immediately upon referral

Requires almost no legwork from referring staff to begin implementation of the intervention with a student

All school staff know about, understand their roll with, and know the referral process for

◦SYSTEMS NOTE: Resources Required: If program is not self-sufficient… and requires

significant organization by referring staff… it’s not a targeted intervention

Questions about Tier 2 InterventionsSystems Considerations

Intervention is continuously available Rapid access to intervention (72 hr) Very low effort by teachers Consistent with school-wide expectations Implemented by all staff/faculty in a school Flexible intervention based on assessment

◦ Functional Assessment Adequate resources (admin, team)

◦ weekly meeting, plus 10 hours a week Student chooses to participate Continuous monitoring for decision-making

Major Features of Targeted Interventions

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.

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

Why does CICO Work?

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

Elevated reward for appropriate behavior Adult and peer attention delivered each target period Adult attention (and tangible) delivered at end of day

Linking behavior support and academic support For academic-based, escape-maintained problem behavior

incorporate academic support Linking school and home support

Provide format for positive student/parent contact Program is organized to morph into a self-management

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

BASIC CYCLE

Check In Check Out (CICO)

Logistics for Setting up a CICO program

1. Faculty and staff commitment Is 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 support CICO is designed to work with 10-12% of kids in a school CICO typically “works” (50% reduction) with 67% of

students. CICO does NOT replace need for individualized supports.

Activity 1:a) Assessment of need (ODR rates, staff

assessment)b) Readiness:

Is SWPBIS Tier 1 in place? (TIC = 80%; SET = 80/80)Is there faculty commitment to work with tougher kids?Are in-school resources available to implement?Are district resources available to support start-up?

c) Team to manage CICO• Administrator; CICO Coordinator; Check In/Out staff

member(s), behavior Specialist (e.g. SPED/SPSY), Teacher

CICO Coordinator: Selection Criteria and Considerations

1. Who would be a good coordinator?2. What duties/responsibilities will he/she

have?3. Do we need to adjust schedules/time/

workload for this person?4. How will we train the coordinator?5. How will we evaluate the coordinators

effectiveness?6. Who will be our back-up coordinator?7. What steps do we need to take to

accomplish this?

CICO Coordinator Responsibilities

Establish rapport with students Provide training to all students before they begin

CICO Coordinate check-in and check-out

◦ Possibly do Check-in & check-outs

Enter data daily (or monitor daily data entry) Organize and summarize student data for

meetings Contact person for caregivers Process requests for assistance Lead meetings Problem-solve

CICO Coordinator

Examples Social worker Counselor Special Education

teacher Paraprofessional

Non-Examples Principal Classroom teacher Any individual

responsible for discipline

Coordinator: Training

The coordinator should receive training in the systems, practices, and the use of data in the CICO program.

Connect w/ your District & Regional Coaches

Be sure to train a “back-up” coordinator

CICO Coordinator: Planning for Sustainability

Plan for turn-over in the coordinator position Increasing sustainability

◦Document all procedures◦Active management from the leadership team

◦Write coordinator duties into a job description

◦Devote FTE to the coordinator position

Getting Creative: CICO Specialists

These individuals only do check-in/check-outs w/ students only (data and organization is the CICO Coordinator’s responsibility)

- School custodian- School office staff members- “Specials” teachers

Checking In & Checking Out:A good candidate is. . .

In the building everyday Available at the beginning and end of

each day Someone students like and enjoy being

around Enthusiastic Organized Positive

CICO Coordinator: Ensuring “Best Fit” & Fidelity

The effectiveness of implementation should be examined on a regular basis

Evaluation Questions:

1. Does the coordinator establish positive rapport with students?

2. Does the coordinator display effective behavior management skills?

3. Does the coordinator’s position allow all tasks to be completed in a timely manner?

4. Is the coordinator implementing the intervention with fidelity?

◦ CICO Self Assessment, Benchmarks of Advanced Tiers, etc.

◦ Integrate CICO implementation fidelity within a district evaluation plan

Developing a Point Card

Use a School name, mascot, motto

◦ Sunshine Club◦ Hawk Report ◦ HUG – Hello, Update, Goodbye◦ CnC – Check-n-Connect◦ CICO – Check-In/Check-Out◦ BEP – behavior Education Program

Fit your Context:Make the program/card your own

Try to use 1 card for the program◦ Use common schedule if possible ◦ Use School-wide Rules

Keep it simple◦ Card needs to be quick & easy for staff to

complete◦ Card needs to be small (half sheet) & easy to

carry around

SWIS: Referrals by Student

Start the year by reviewing last years data:

CICO can help to start the year off on the right foot

Referral Process

Office Discipline Referrals

- Typically referrals are examined every 2 weeks in a team meeting (school-wide, CICO team, etc.)

- Set Decision Rules- Students with 2nd referral = TEAM REVIEW

- MS & Elem may have different criterion

- Print out an individual student report (SWIS) for each identified student to examine patterns (location, time, problem behavior, etc.)

Teacher Referral Process

Develop a system Teach staff how to use the system Provide verbal and written instructions on

the referral system Respond to referrals in a timely manner System must be efficient

Teacher Referral Process: Example

CICO Referral Process Considerations

1. How will we examine ODRs?2. How will we integrate academic data?3. How often?4. Is there other data that we will use for

screening?5. What criteria will be use to determine if the

student is appropriate for CICO?6. What will happen after we determine a student

is identified as needing CICO?

CICO Teacher Referrals:Guiding Questions

1. How will teachers refer students (form, email, etc.) & who will the referral go to?

2. What data is needed after the referral is received & who will gather it?

3. How will we determine if a student is appropriate for CICO?

4. How will we inform teachers of this process?

5. What is our anticipated time frame for examining and acting upon referrals?

6. What will we do if a student does not appear to be a good fit?

Student Screening & Request for Assistance

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

Student is not responding to SWPBS expectations Request for Assistance

Student finds adult attention rewarding Student is NOT in crisis.

Activity 3:a) Develop a Request for assistance

process defined.b) Define criterion for CICO support

An effective Data System is CRITICAL

Highly recommend CICO-SWIS◦ www.swis.org◦ Additional $50/year with SWIS account◦ Cannot get CICO add-on without having SWIS account

Alternative = managing excel spreadsheets◦ Gets challenging with many students◦ CICO Coordinator must have substantial expertise in

Excel

Data System CICO-SWIS

Activity 8:a) Process for collecting, entering, summarizing

and reporting data is defined

What happens after they are on CICO?

Team will use data to monitor student progress◦ Some students will “graduate” from the program◦ Some students will require the support on a

continuing basis◦ Some students will not respond to the program &

need more or something different

Set up processes for:◦ Fading students off of the program◦ Escalating intensity of intervention◦ Maintain & monitor

SWIS-CICO ReportDaily Points Graph

Things Are Going Well… What Now? The GOAL is always to “Graduate” students

from our supports or Fade supports◦ Do so gradually & Support the Transition

1) Increasing student responsibility Transition into a Self-Management/ Self-Monitoring

program

2) Then, gradually removing or “Fading” components of the intervention

Self Monitoring After CICO Student monitors own behavior Student “checks in” with teacher to review

self-ratings and receive feedback

1. Expected behaviors stay the same2. Reinforcers stay the same3. Student checks in same amount of times4. Student monitors behavior using CICO card5. Plan for teaching accuracy in monitoring

Transition to Self Monitoring

1. Student and teacher record separately2. Compare records; reinforce accuracy3. Over time, compare less often4. Reinforce appropriate behavior only5. Periodically reinforce accuracy

Example: Lucy Lucy 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 Lucy◦ Coordinator teaches Lucy to self monitor using examples and non-

examples◦ When program begins, Lucy’s teacher goes over examples and non-

examples

◦ First week: Lucy 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 Lucy’s monitoring of behavior

◦ Coordinator Feedback based on accuracy (with teacher records) When Lucy monitors independently, feedback based on behavior

Removing Components of CICO After Student is Successfully Self-Monitoring

Can begin removing components of the program (removing staff responsibility)◦ Gradually decrease # of check-ins during the day

w/ teachers; Student Self Checks (keep check in and out)

◦ Fade from Daily check out to every other day then 1/week

◦ Remove check in

Continue to monitor student behavior through discipline referrals & teacher report

Celebrate continued success◦ Some schools hold a monthly celebration for

students who are maintaining success after Graduating from CICO Monthly “Alumni Club” Lunch

After “Graduation” from CICO

CICO: Fading Supports

12. Fading Supports for Successful Students◦ Transition to Self Management program◦ Continued monitoring & celebrations for “Grads”

13. Substitute Teacher routine◦ How to inform and orient new teachers

Activity 9:a) Define self-management process.

• Use card, but no teacher review• No, card, but still check in

b) Substitute teacher orientation materials

All Staff Orientation to CICO
