Assessment Measures to Support Student Identification and Progress Monitoring for REP
This resource includes a list of measures that can be used to either (a) identify students who would benefit from REP (e.g., universal screeners) or (b) evaluate student response to REP (e.g., progress monitors).
Check-in/Check-out Fidelity Checklists
A series of checklists to assess whether key steps in the Check-in/Check-out (CICO) intervention are completed well. When school staff consistently complete the key steps, they increase the likelihood that CICO will produce positive outcomes. The CICO Checklists can be used as part of the Resiliency Education Program or independently.

This Resilient Families process is designed to engage parents and caregivers as co-equal partners in supporting their child.

Finally, the handbook helps to establish a context for families and educators to collaborate as they coordinate support for their child.
