Check-In/Check-Out for Diverse Learners

Culturally responsive adaptations of commonly used interventions are key to supporting the diverse needs of all students. For check-in/check-out (CICO), a particular focus on adult--student mentoring relationships can improve effectiveness. Research suggests that CICO can be modified to support students from a variety of cultural backgrounds. Adaptations to CICO can help increase the success of the intervention. Specifically, matching students with a mentor who has a shared racial or cultural identity as well as incorporating cultural considerations into mentorship may help make CICO more culturally responsive and beneficial to students from diverse backgrounds.
