  • Part 2 provides teams with a description of how to collect and analyze data in order to evaluate student progress in the Check-In, Check-Out (CICO) intervention. It also provides guidance on how to respond to student data as well as options for modifying or fading the intervention based on the student’s response.
  • Part 3 provides teams with a guide on how to communicate and teach staff, families, and students about CICO. It also provides examples and recommendations on how to pilot the intervention before beginning implementing fully.
