KUMMI 17. Check in Check out (CICO) – en modell för individualiserat beteendestöd i skolan

Difficulties with behavior can be very stressful for both teachers and the entire school community and are a risk factor for students' future development. A reduction in disruptive behavior promotes students' learning and positive development and improves the general well-being at school. This Kummi publication presents the Check in Check out (CICO) operating model, with the help of which students can be offered more effective behavioral support as part of everyday school work. The Finnish version of the CICO model was developed and researched in the joint ProKoulu and ProVarkaus projects of the University of Jyväskylä and the Niilo Mäki Institute. The Swedish version was translated and edited within the framework of the Niilo Mäki Institute's project Learning and Support in Finnish-Swedish Schools 2 (ILS 2). The Kummi publication is aimed at school personnel: teachers, special education teachers and school counselors, as well as psychologists and counselors. The manual describes how to use the CICO model in practice in schools. The handbook also contains the evaluation and work tools needed to initiate support for individual students. The Kummi publication contains: General principles for supporting behavior Instructions for building behavior support in school Necessary evaluation, documentation and follow-up forms for systematically implementing CICO support
