CLASSROOM CHECK-UP (CCU)
A consultation model designed to increase
implementation of classroom
interventions
Critical variables are assessed
Feedback is provided to teachers
An individualized intervention plan is
collaboratively designed
Teachers self-monitor and are provided
with ongoing feedback and support
CLASSROOM CHECK-UP
Provides
a consistent, systematic process
for assessing the critical components of
the intervention
Supports development of strategies to
support classroom teachers in
implementing interventions with high
fidelity
Utilizes strategies to enhance readiness
and capacity to implement the
intervention
CCU KEY ELEMENTS
Grounded
in Motivational Interviewing (MI)
principles for building collaborative
relationships between coach and teacher
Ongoing assessment of key intervention
variables
Personalized feedback
Data-based decision making
Tailored intervention designed to increase
implementation fidelity
CLASSROOM CHECK-UP
PROJECTS
Increase
teacher implementation of best
practices in classroom management
Double Check Project to increase cultural
proficiency
Increase implementation and fidelity of
specific evidence-based interventions (e.g.
PATHS to PAX)
GOALS OF ECOLOGICAL
ASSESSMENT
Gather information to develop case
conceptualization
Accurately identify strengths as well as challenge
areas
Keep teacher engaged in the CCU process
Reduce intervention time by identifying specific
needs
Collect information from multiple sources
Collect information across multiple contexts
DISCUSSION QUESTION
What are some of the ways you have found
to be effective to build
rapport/relationships with teachers?
STEP 1: ASSESS CLASSROOM
Teacher Interview (20-30 minutes)
Main Goal: Build rapport
Casual & Conversational
The willingness of a teacher to open
up and express concerns, fears &
frustrations is likely to be increased
by a positive, friendly, collaborative
relationship & to be decreased by an
evaluative (“I am the expert”)
relationship.
Strengths and areas of growth
Identify areas of concern
VALUES CARD SORT
Ask
teacher to sort into 3 categories –
Important, Very Important, and Not At
All Important
Next, ask teacher to pick top 5 values
from Very Important pile
Lastly, have a discussion about why they
chose each value and why the value is
important to them
STEP 1: ASSESS CLASSROOM
1. Classroom Ecology Checklist
Completed by coach and teacher
2. Classroom Observations
Completed by coach
CRITICAL CLASSROOM VARIABLES
Classroom
Academic Engagement
5 minute observation
DISCUSSION QUESTION
What
systems are you currently using for
conducting classroom observations and
collecting data?
STEP 2: PROVIDE FEEDBACK
1. Meet with classroom teacher:
Conduct more than one observation to
prevent designing an intervention based
on one particularly bad day in the
classroom
Approach the conversation as a
true peer/colleague – offer your
thoughts, observations, and data as a
friendly consultant
Never criticize the teacher’s effort or
difficulties
STEP 2: PROVIDE FEEDBACK
2. Summarize observations:
Begin by giving the teacher a
compliment/praise something you
observed during classroom observation
Identify areas of strength and areas of
weakness
Displaying feedback visually
places the focus on the data rather
than the individual. With graphics
and the data, the teacher may feel less
judged or threatened
FEEDBACK FORM
STEP 3: DEVELOP A MENU OF
STRATEGIES
1. During feedback session identify potential
strategies
Build upon teacher strengths
Use blank form to explain feedback
Prompt the teacher to suggest additional
areas they may be interested in changing
2. Write down all potential strategies
Menu to choose from
STEP 4: CHOOSE A STRATEGY
1. Identify one or two strategies from menu
that you and the teacher feel are most
important to target
Tailored to teachers needs and skill
level
Prioritize – “Biggest bang for your buck!”
STEP 4: CHOOSE A STRATEGY
2. Develop implementation plan with teacher
Review Action Plan Form
Guides teacher self-monitoring
STEP 5: TEACHER SELFMONITORING
Teacher monitors
daily implementation
of the chosen
strategies using a
SIMPLE procedural
checklist
Date: XX/XX/XX
Check off those strategies you used TODAY.
1. Increased use of Praise and it
was Behavior Specific Praise.
(goal of 5 praise to 1 reprimand)
2. Used a reminder to help increase
praise.
3. Taught/ Reviewed Expectations
(transitions and no talk outs)
4. Started math instruction at
specified time (smooth
transition)
