Reviews / Votes

"Capturing 10 years of advances in the field, this volume provides new enhancements to the evidence-based CICO intervention. The third edition includes an updated high school chapter, a new chapter on CICO in alternative settings, and a new training-the-trainer chapter that provides step-by-step guidance for setting up a CICO workshop. Other important new topics include how to adapt CICO for academic/organizational, recess, and internalizing behavior issues. This book can be used in any school to improve the effectiveness of Tier 2 intervention."--Bob Putnam, PhD, LP, BCBA-D, LABA, Executive Vice President of PBIS and Consultation, May Institute

"CICO is one of the most valuable tools I've used in my career as a school psychologist--it has had a lasting positive impact on our students. This comprehensive manual provides clear action steps for school teams to effectively and efficiently implement the program to meet the needs of their students. In addition to examples of implementation in real schools, the manual is complete with sample materials, data collection forms, and ideas for adapting the intervention, providing practioners a full CICO toolkit. My district has used this manual to train elementary and middle school implementation teams over the past several years, and we are excited for the expanded third edition, which includes applications for students with internalizing behaviors, high school settings, and alternative education programs."--Mishele Stein Carroll, MA, NCSP, Social Emotional Learning Coordinator, Jeffco Public Schools, Colorado

"This excellent book is supported by a strong theoretical base. The third edition is enhanced by detailed instructions for training school personnel, as well as guidance on how to systematically track intervention fidelity and outcomes, which is crucial in a multi-tiered framework. The chapter on culturally responsive CICO is helpful for adapting and applying the core components in various contexts--even internationally. I especially appreciate how the third edition helps schools to become even more inclusive by layering additional interventions onto CICO for students who need extra support."--Anne Karhu, PhD, School of Educational Sciences and Psychology, University of Eastern Finland

"This book will change the way schools see and serve struggling students at an early stage across ages, cultures, and countries. Key ideas, recommendations, and evidence are presented in a clear way. The book has several great concrete examples of CICO implementation that efficiently demonstrate how students can experience more success in school. All of us who coach schools in their efforts to promote students' academic and social learning and development should be indebted to the authors for this impressive third edition."--Anne Arnesen, PhD, Norwegian Center for Child Behavioral Development, Oslo, Norway-
