Abstract

The purpose of this project was to analyze the effectiveness of the Check-In Check-Out intervention as a Tier 2 behavioral intervention in reducing disruptive behaviors and minor aggression. Two first-grade students began receiving this intervention after being referred for minor disruptive classroom behaviors, and progress was tracked using Daily Progress Reports (DPR) rated by their classroom teacher after each transition period. Each student had the goals of remaining on-task in the classroom and maintaining a safe body. One student also had the additional goal of transitioning smoothly between classes. The point sheet data and graphs suggest that the Check-In Check-Out intervention may have helped increase on-task behavior and maintain a safe body in the classroom for the two students. However, fidelity checklists reveal issues with treatment fidelity, suggesting that other factors besides the intervention may have contributed to the observed outcomes for the two students.
