Check-In/Check-Out

Check-in/Check-Out is a Tier II intervention to help students work through their day. Immediately increasing the dosage of positive relationship (attachment) and encouraging focus on personal goals (self-regulation) can be enough to avoid a severe drift into long term off track behaviors. Check In/Check Out is described well in its name; a young person checks in everyday with a caring adult. They check out with the same caring adult at the end of the day after receiving feedback throughout the day from adults. CI/CO can be modified to increase intensity through a variety of deliveries, but core features remain focused on attachment and the self-efficacy building work of goal setting. CI/CO will not work in an environment without caring relationships as a norm. CI/CO is an increased dose of care and concern; in an environment absent of high expectations (concern) and strong interpersonal relationships (care), CI/CO will flounder as an intervention. Tier II assumes a Tier I beneath—or it is not a timely increase of help, only a first brush of support.
