da Vinci Arts Middle School
Check-In Check-Out System
Overview
All students in the CB program participate in an intervention known as Check-In Check-Out, a systematic way of checking in with students throughout the day and monitoring the progress on individual goals while supporting organizational skills. The Check-In Check-Out system is designed to support study skills goals such as work initiation, completion, and organization. Each student will be assigned to an adult, who will be meeting with the student in the morning and in the afternoon, helping them set goals, and support the student with needed materials to be successful. The student's teachers along with CB Team staff will be monitoring the student's success within the general education classroom and providing specific instruction and support in the problematic areas. As the student progresses in his or her goal areas, they will move to self-monitoring their own behavior, with fewer check-ins, ultimately becoming independently successful in the general education environment. The program is set up to provide:- Structure and prompts that students need through the day
