Check-In, Check-Out Intervention BEHAVIORAL SUPPORTS
For more information or to register for this training, visit the CAHELP OMS Calendar: https://sbcss.k12oms.org/?gid=52
Check-In, Check-Out (CICO) is a Tier 2, group oriented intervention designed especially for students whose problem behaviors are unresponsive to Tier 1 practices and systems, do not require more immediate individualized interventions, and are observable across multiple settings. This training will teach participants the basic structure of setting up CICO with fidelity in a school system. Key features of CICO include: increased positive adult contact, social skills training, a direct link to school-wide behavioral goals and expectations, frequent feedback, daily home-school communication, and positive reinforcement contingent on meeting behavioral goals. Research conducted on CICO consistently demonstrates associated decreases in problem behaviors, office discipline referrals, and referrals for special education services. Participants will understand how students are placed in a Tier 2 intervention, how CICO is implemented in schools, and how to create foundations for a CICO system.
Intended Audience
Special education teachers, general education teachers, paraprofessionals, site administrators, and district administrators.

This training will explore how to adapt the Check-In Check-Out (CICO) intervention to better support diverse student needs. Participants will engage in a grounding activity to reflect on the importance of adaptation, followed by a discussion on why CICO modifications are necessary. Key adaptations covered will include: 1. Breaks are Better: A structured approach to integrating breaks for students who need self- regulation support. 2. Check, Connect, Expect: A relationship-based adaptation that strengthens student-teacher connections while maintaining accountability. By the end of this session, participants will have a clear understanding of how to implement these CICO adaptations effectively, ensuring that all students receive the support they need to succeed
