Check-in/Check-out Fidelity Checklists
A series of checklists to assess whether key steps in the Check-in/Check-out (CICO) intervention are completed well. When school staff consistently complete the key steps, they increase the likelihood that CICO will produce positive outcomes. The CICO Checklists can be used as part of the Resiliency Education Program or independently.
