Check-In, Check-Out, Second Edition

Check-In, Check-Out (CICO) is the most widely implemented Tier 2 intervention for the approximately 10-15% of K-12 students who exhibit chronic, mild behavior 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 behavior throughout the day. CICO is ideal for implementation in multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS) or positive behavior interventions and support (PBIS) frameworks. The chapter format allows users to quickly navigate to specific segments. Special features include reproducible forms, PowerPoint training materials, and two graphing spreadsheets for managing daily data. Running time: 27 minutes. First edition title: The Behavior Education Program.
