Students with high-incidence disabilities, including emotional and behavioral disorders (E/BD), learning disabilities (LD), and mild intellectual disabilities (MID), demonstrate academic, social, and behavioral deficits to varying degrees, which places them at risk for school failure. Because students with E/BD face dire consequences, it is important for educators to employ the most effective interventions available in order to improve educational, vocational, and community outcomes. In this article the authors describe a Tier 2 behavioral intervention: Check, Connect, and Expect (CCE), which is aligned with six of Tobin and Sprague's (1999) eight best practices for alternative school settings: (a) low student to teacher ratio; (b) highly structured environment; (c) positive focus; (d) school-based mentorship; (e) social skills lessons; and (f) parental involvement. Check, Connect, and Expect is a Tier 2 behavioral intervention designed to improve behavior by providing students with comprehensive support from a fulltime coach. The authors discuss practical considerations for CCE in alternative settings. (Contains 2 tables.)
