operation of CICO system

Get referred students started with program Students can be referred based on # of referrals Students can be referred by teacher

Monitor effectiveness of CICO system Is CICO meeting the needs of a significant portion of

at-risk students as a preliminary intervention

Bring all CICO data to Intensive PBS Team

Generic Point Card

Progress MonitoringData used to monitor progress is increasingly individualized

as student need is recognized to be increasingly intensiveStart generic, broad & efficiently & get increasingly specific,

and individualized

CICO Point Card – generic

Targeted Intervention – Simple FBA Point Card – generic to semi-individualized
