2) Social/Academic Instructional Groups:
____Problem-Solving: To learn replacement behaviors for fighting, arguing etc. (externalizing behaviors)
____Pro-social Skills: To learn replacement behaviors for avoidance, withdrawal etc. (internalizing behaviors)

FAQ #1
Q. Do we have to start with CICO
first if a student is immediately
exhibiting higher needs?
A. No. You can place a student at
the level of intervention that meets
the intensity of the problem
behavior. CICO, et al should be
included as part of the layers of
intervention.
FAQ #2
Q. We have community groups willing to
provide mentoring to our students. Should we
use them?
A. Community partnerships can provide great
resources, relationships, and diversity for your
students. However, safety and evidence-based
practices are first and foremost. Follow district
guidelines on background checks, compare
community programs to the 10 Critical Features,
and inquire what data outcomes will be kept.
