BEP-CICO Implementation

Process

Started at Fern Ridge Middle School, Elmira Oregon

Crone, Horner, & Hawken (2004). Responding to Problem Behavior in Schools: The Behavior Education Program. New York, NY: Guilford Press

5 schools◦ 3 elementary◦ 2 middle schools

One BEP Coordinator served:◦ 15-20 students elementary◦ 20-30 students secondary

Excel Data System◦ No web-based system

In the Beginning………..

To support more students, some schools have multiple BEP/CICO check-in, check out facilitators.

Expanded to include high school & preschool populations

New data system◦ SWIS CICO◦ Current – 1999 schools K-12 use SWIS CICO data base.

Fidelity of Implementation ◦ Individual Systems Evaluation Tool (I-SET)

Current BEP/CICO practice

Effective in reducing problem behavior for:◦ Elementary school students (Cheney et al., 2009; Fairbanks,

Sugai, Guardino, & Lathrop, 2007; Filter et al., 2007; Hawken, MacLeod, & Rawlings, 2007; McCurdy, 2007; Stage, Cheney, Flower, Templeton, & Waugh, 2010; Todd, Kaufman, Meyer, & Horner, 2007).

◦ Middle School Students (Hawken, 2006; Hawken & Horner, 2003; March & Horner, 2002)

◦ Students in Urban School Settings (McCurdy, 2007)

◦ Students with disabilities (Hawken, et al., 2007, MacLeod, Hawken, & O’Neill, 2010)

***Problem behaviors measured via direct observation, rating scales, changes in percentage of points earned on DPRs, & reductions in ODRs

Research on BEP/CICO

Effective in increasing academic engagement, including for students in high school settings (Hawken & Horner, 2003, Swain-Bradway, 2009)

Reduced need for Tier 3 and special education supports following CICO implementation (Hawken, et al., 2007)

Overall range of effectiveness of CICO ranges from 40% to 70% (Fairbanks, et al., 2007) (Hawken, et al., 2007)

Research on CICO

More effective with students with attention-maintained problem behavior (March & Horner, 2002; McIntosh, et., al., 2009, Campbell & Anderson, 2008)

Effective across behavioral functions (Hawken, O’Neill, & MacLeod, 2011)

Students who do not respond to CICO benefit from function-based, individualized interventions (Fairbanks, et., al., 2007, March & Horner, 2002; Macleod, Hawken, & O’Neill, 2010)

Check-In, Check-Out

Readiness for Tier 2

• SW-PBS universal systems are consistently implemented with fidelity– Schoolwide– Non-Classroom– Classroom

MO SW-PBS

Readiness for Tier 2

• SW-PBS Universal System Outcomes– Schoolwide Evaluation Tool (SET)

• Score (80/80) within past 12 months

– Benchmarks of Quality (BoQ)• Score of 80% or higher

– Self-Assessment Survey (SAS)• 80% of staff report that Schoolwide, Non-Classroom &

Classroom Systems are in placeMO SW-PBS

WITH

Readiness for Tier 2

• Office referral data indicates 80 percent of students in the 0-1 referral range

• System in place to document classroom minors

• Consistent use of school-wide data for making decisions as evidenced by monthly Big 5 Data Reports

MO SW-PBS

Tier 2 Training Content

Systems Training

• Foundational Knowledge• The Tier 2 Team• Student Identification Process

– Nominations– Existing school data– Screening instrument scores

• Monitoring Progress & Evaluating Outcomes using the Benchmarks for Advanced Tiers

MO SW-PBS

Intervention Training

• Check-in/Check-out (BEP-CICO)• Check & Connect• Social Skill Instructional Groups• Targeted Environmental Interventions

MO SW-PBS

Lessons Learned – CICO/BEP

• Higher level of success with implementation when solid Tier 1 is in place.

• Staff training on intervention components is essential, with a review each school year.

• Tier 2 Systems in place are critical– Team– Student Identification Process– Monitoring Progress & Evaluating Outcomes
