A targeted and intensive approach to consistent behavior monitoring

• Implementation
• Progress monitoring
• Fading the plan
• Prerequisites for developing a CICO plan
• CICO plan-building activity

• This is a teacher led student behavior self monitoring tool.
• Provides daily support and monitoring for students who are risk for developing serious or chronic behavior problems.
• CICO tracks appropriate behaviors and allows for corrective feedback for inappropriate behavior.
• It provides a holistic view of a student's behavior across settings.
• It can be used as a communication tool from school to home.
• This is a communication tool across settings.

CICO Tool
CICO Training
Monitor appropriate student behavior across daily schedule
Guide and direct staff in using CICO for targeted students

Possible problems or situations that a CICO can be used to address: o Students who need consistent on-going or intermittent evaluation, feedback and reinforcement for their appropriate behaviors across the class period and/ or school day .
o Students who need consistent on-going or intermittent evaluation, feedback and reinforcement for their appropriate behaviors across common areas or specific daily routines .

o Identify students who are not responding to the universal intervention/ reinforcement system and may be in need of a CICO plan.
Possible data sources: discipline referrals, universal reinforcement system monitoring tools, etc.
o Create CICO teaching materials and studentspecific CICO card(s).
o Involve parent(s) or primary stakeholder(s) from the student’s home setting(s). Will the student take copies home? How often? Will they be signed and returned?

o Develop system support for integration of CICO plan with universal system.
How many CICO points are required to earn one point in the regular universal system? o Train or re-teach appropriate behavior expectations. Provide opportunities to practice appropriate behavior expectations and be reinforced for exhibiting appropriate behaviors.
o Train appropriate staff in the implementation and progress monitoring of the student’s CICO plan.

o Implement CICO plan.
o Track and monitor student progress and data.
Insure that CICO points feed into universal system.
Possible data sources: observation, points earned, discipline referrals, daily behavior ratings, weekly averages, universal reinforcement system monitoring tools, etc.

Maintain a standard implementation routine every day:
•
1.
Initial check in.
•
2.
Review behavior expectations.
•
3.
Set point goal(s).
• 4.
Insure that student or designated staff have
CICO card.
• 5.
Check in with student at regular intervals.
•
6.
Give points and specific feedback regarding appropriate behaviors.

• 7.
Check out at the end of the day, period, or routine.
• 8.
Review points and performance for that day, period, or routine.
• 9.
Log points and performance comments on progress monitoring sheet (can be done daily or weekly).
• 10. Make a copy of the CICO for the home setting.
• 11. Review weekly data for decision- making.

Goal: Move student towards self-management o Increase time intervals on card o Increase point requirements o Transition student to self-managed plan

o Plan may require some basic logistical planning for staffing duties and responsibilities, materials and systems integration (universal reinforcement system with targeted/ intensive reinforcement system) o Make sure that consistent universal and/ or classroom intervention systems and reinforcement systems are in place o Classroom behavior expectations are in place and taught o Evidence-based practices are used to implement and maintain the plan
