Choosing Students
CICO is only effective for certain students.
Choosing the Right StudentsThis is a tough task . . .
You need to be particular in who you choose and it can be difficult to know which students will respond to this intervention and which need other strategies
Who is CICO for?
Students who are in the yellow zone are good candidates for CICO
Students whose daily behaviors are erratic or severe are usually not good candidates
Age of Students
Kindergarteners and 1st graders - Needed more assistance from teachers completing charts- Verbal Praise and small rewards were more effective
Age of Students
3rd graders- requested and maintained charts
5th graders - needed more than verbal praise and prizes to be effective
Age of Students
What about 2nd and 4th?
Enjoyed maintaining chartsReflected on their successes
CICO was most effective with thesegrades according to the data!
Is It Working?
Two weeks is enough time to determine whether CICO is going to be effective
Students who lose or simply do not get their charts filled out should be phased out of the intervention
Executing the Intervention
Steps to keep in mind when considering CICO.
Executing the Intervention
Contact parent/guardian if necessary
Consult with teacher, student and SST team
Choose an appropriate provider teacher, counselor, social worker, resource teacher Someone the student would like to see twice a day
to discuss and review daily goals and progress
Executing the Intervention
Decide on a meeting time. Go to the student or have
the student come to you?
Scores should align with school wide behavior charts.
Ownership of CICO Chart
Students should be . . . active in creating the goals placed on their
charts encouraged to ask for changes to their
charts when needed expect to replace achieved goals with new
ones which are more challenging discuss with their teacher regarding
changes to their charts
Analyzing the Data
Data collection is important!
Importance of Data
The data determines if CICO is effective or not for an individual student
Data can be shared with parents and used for goals on SST plans
Data should be collected daily based on their daily performance
Keep data collection SIMPLE!
CICO Chart
Goals should be listed on each students CICO chart
1-4 goals depending on age of students
Goals should be “graded” based on the school-wide behavior plan

What Comes Next?
How do you end successful or ineffective interventions?
Ending a Successful Intervention
Have a party! Have a special lunch to celebrate
their achievementLet them invite a friend to play a
game, watch a movie, or hang out together
Remember, this is a happy and proud time forthem, we don’t want to feel they are losingsomething but have accomplished a lot!
Ending a Successful Intervention
Make a Certificate of completion
Graduate to MentorStudents who succeed with their goals and
no longer need CICO can become mentors to other students
Ending an Ineffective Intervention
Students should be aware in the beginning that CICO is temporary Student should be told before CICO starts that if the program
doesn’t work, it will cease and something else will be tried
At the end of the two weeks to a month if the student does not respond to the intervention they should be included in the decision to stop and try something else have a discussion with the student why you think this
intervention is not appropriate What could we try instead? (brainstorm with student, teacher,
parent or SST team)
