This study clarifies the Check-in/Check-out (CICO) program by defining its student-facing practice elements. Identifying these specific actions improves clarity for teachers and guides future research on intervention effectiveness.
Area of Science:
- Educational Psychology
- Behavioral Interventions
- Implementation Science
Background:
- Check-in/Check-out (CICO) is an evidence-based program for students with social-emotional behavior concerns.
- Current descriptions conflate student-facing practice elements with adult-focused implementation components.
- Clearer definitions are needed for effective implementation and research.
Purpose of the Study:
- To distill, differentiate, and operationally define the student-facing practice elements of CICO.
- To improve clarity for front-line implementers and guide future research.
Main Methods:
- A modified three-round e-Delphi process was used.
- A panel of research and practice experts participated.
- 19 discreet practice elements were identified and defined, organized into five domains.
Main Results:
- 19 distinct student-facing practice elements of CICO were operationally defined.
- These elements are organized into five key domains.
- The definitions provide clarity for implementation and research.
Conclusions:
- Well-defined practice elements enhance communication of CICO expectations to teachers.
- This work supports the development of fidelity measures and research into CICO's active ingredients.
- Improved clarity can lead to more effective implementation of CICO programs.

Preparation of Alcohols via Addition Reactions
The acid-catalyzed addition of water to the double bond of alkenes is a large-scale industrial method used to synthesize low-molecular-weight alcohols. An acidic atmosphere is required to allow the hydrogen in the water molecule to act as an electrophile and attack the double bond in an alkene. The addition of a proton to the double bond creates a carbocation intermediate. The proton preferentially bonds to the less substituted end of the double bond to create a more stable carbocation...
