Check-In/Check-OutStaff Introduction

CICO (Check-In/Check-Out)

• Designed for Students with moderate problem behaviors

• Most appropriate when problem behaviors are maintained by adult/peer attention

• Students “check-in” with an adult at the start of each school day

• Students “check-out” with an adult at the conclusion of each school day

• Students get feedback from teachers throughout the day

CICO• Students establish 3-5 goals with the CICO adult

– Goals are based on the school wide expectations– Typical goal is to achieve at least 80% of daily available points

• Students on CICO have a point card they pick up at the beginning of each day

• Students take the point card to each class

• Adults in each setting award the student 1-3 (or 0-2, etc.) points for appropriate behavior during the period

• Students return the CICO card to the CICO check-out adult at the end of the school day

Check In Check Out (CICO)

Meadowlark/ Buena Vista

Class by Class Check-In• Student gives CICO card to teacher at the

beginning of class– Location in room that does not draw peer

attention– Greet student positively…

• “Nice to see you today, Joe. Great job being on time.”

– Depending on time, may or may not give a brief prompt about class.

• “Today we’re talking about photosynthesis. We’re going to take notes and then complete a worksheet together.”

Class by Class Check-In

• Within last 5 minutes of class:– Teacher provides a SCORE that reflects class

behaviors (in consideration of school-wide rules)

• Teacher can provide a comment – positive comments encouraged

• “Thanks for being on time!”• “Great questions!”• Nice work having homework done.”

Class by Class Check-In• Goal of class by class checks:

– Increase positive interactions with adults• Positive verbal and written feedback

– Get feedback about classroom performance• Score

– Use feedback to create, modify and track CICO goals

– Give the student a mechanism for approaching teachers.

– Fade class by class check over time to increase self-management skills.

Class by Class Check-In

• Score reflects performance.– If you can make verbal suggestions for

improving performance using POSITIVE language, do so.

• “Great job being on time. If you bring your homework next time you’ll get a 2!”

– If you cannot make a suggestion for improvement using positive language then don’t focus on negative -- say nothing.

Class by Class Check-In

• Students report the #1 reason they do not get the card scored by teachers is because of negative verbal or written feedback.

• Written comments should ALWAYS be positive.– “Catch” them behaving appropriately. – Find something about their time in class to

reward with verbal or written praise
