Resilience Education Program (REP)

The Resilience Education Program (REP) is a targeted Tier 2 intervention for students at risk for internalizing concerns, such as depression and anxiety. It is built upon three major components:

Cognitive-Behavioral Instruction

Students are taught key coping and problem-solving skills across five lessons in a small-group setting.

Check In/Check Out

Students meet with their teachers and a mentor on a regular basis to receive feedback regarding their behavior. Students also have the opportunity to receive rewards contingent upon their appropriate behavior.

Resilient Families

Parents/caregivers are provided important information and resources to support their child’s emotions and behavior in the home.

Assessment Measures to Support Student Identification and Progress Monitoring for REP

This resource includes a list of measures that can be used to either (a) identify students who would benefit from REP (e.g., universal screeners) or (b) evaluate student response to REP (e.g., progress monitors).

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.

Internalizing Behavior Observation Protocol (IBOP)

The Internalizing Behavior Observation Protocol can be used to monitor student response to the Resilience Education Program (REP) over time.

REP Resilient Families Handbook

REP Resilient Families Handbook En Español

This Resilient Families process is designed to engage parents and caregivers as co-equal partners in supporting their child. REP implementers work to support parents and caregivers in developing tools that promote their child’s social-emotional skills. Finally, the handbook helps to establish a context for families and educators to collaborate as they coordinate support for their child.

Systems-Level Supports to Consider when Implementing the Resilience Education Program (REP)

Educators should use this checklist in evaluating the appropriateness of REP for their school, while also considering readiness for implementation.
