What reinforcers will students receive for checking in and out (e.g., praise and lottery ticket)? What reinforcers will students receive for checking out AND meeting their daily point goal? How will you ensure students do not become satiated on the reinforcers? Consequences for students Leanne S. Hawken, who PhD - 2011receive major & minor 20 referrals?

Big Ideas Schools need different systems to deal with different levels of problem behavior in schools. Tier 2 interventions like CICO are efficient systems for supporting students at-risk for more severe forms of problem behavior. Up to 30 students per BEP coordinator (depending on school size/resources) can be served using CICO intervention. Some students are going to need more intensive support Leanne S. Hawken, PhD - 2011 35 than CICO can provide.
