SWPBIS Intervention Model

The Check, Connect, and Expect Program (CCE) is a Tier Two SWPBIS intervention model (Cheney et al., 2010, p. 153) and is based on the 15-year research and implementation of Check and Connect (C&C; Sinclair, Christenson, Evelo, and Hurley, 1998, as cited in Cheney et al., 2010, p. 153) as well as the Behavioral Education Program (BEP) (BEP; Crone, Horner, & Hawken, 2004 as cited in Cheney et al., 2010, p. 153). In the process of CCE, a compassionate adult commits to daily interaction with targeted students with behavior issues that do not conform to Tier 1 intervention strategies (Cheney et al. 2010, p. 153). These positive adults (also referred to as “coaches”), mentor these at risk students and provide feedback on both academic and social development (Cheney et al., 2010, p. 153). In addition to being positive role-models to these socially at risk students, CCE coaches provide guidance in acquiring appropriate social skills and are taught self-regulating coping skills before exiting the program (Cheney et al., 2010, p. 153).

In addition to the check-in/check-out daily process, students also participate in 15-minute social skills classes based on lessons from “The Stop and Think Social Skills Program” (Knoff, 2001, as cited in Cheney et al., 2010, p. 154). Rather than an individualistic approach, the basic-plus program is conducted in a small group setting of approximately three to four students with similar behavioral issues (Cheney et al., 2010, p. 155). In this social skills course, students take part in practicing proper social behaviors and making alternative choices when misconduct occurs (Cheney et al., 2010, p.
