(RCIs)<\/strong> represent a core classroom element of Personalization for Academic and Social Emotional Learning.<\/li>\n<li>Teachers conduct rapid check ins with students, engaging in an intentional point of contact\u2014a conversation\u2014with each student in their designated class over a set amount of time.<\/li>\n<li>Conversations range from short informal discussions to more exploratory, in-depth questions about a student\u2019s academic progress and social life.\u00a0 Through these conversations, adults in schools show interest and caring to students while also making note of how the student is doing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How are Schools Performing Rapid Check-Ins?<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Since Rapid Check ins are intentional, deliberate and routine, teachers are assigned to a group of students over an academic year.<\/li>\n<li>Some schools assign a personalization period teacher, or a homeroom or advisory teacher to a group of students.<\/li>\n<li>Other schools choose a period\u2014such as first or second period\u2014and this academic teacher conducts the Rapid Check In.<\/li>\n<li>Teachers personalize the Rapid Check In to their own personal style, however, they must make sure they check in with each student in the class over a set time period and they should use a tracking system as a form of accountability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Below is\u00a0an example of how\u00a0Fall-Hamilton Elementary school\u00a0in Nashville, Tennessee conducts Rapid Check-Ins with their students. How schools choose to organize and implement Rapid Check-Ins\u00a0should be based on\u00a0what is most\u00a0applicable for their\u00a0particular contexts and students.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MyPUY38blZQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Below is a PowerPoint to introduce students and teachers to rapid check-ins.

The teacher can also have exploratory conversations when there are concerns raised by a student\u2019s grades, attendance, or general behavior.\u00a0Click the links for more\u00a0information on <a href=\"https:\/\/my.dev.vanderbilt.edu\/pasltoolkit\/rci\/routine-rapid-check-ins\/\" target=\"_blank\">Routine RCIs<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/my.dev.vanderbilt.edu\/pasltoolkit\/rci\/exploratory-rci\/\" target=\"_blank\">Exploratory RCIs<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What Does the Research Say About Rapid Check-Ins?<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Studies find that both students and adults benefit from strong adult-student relationships in schools.<\/li>\n<li>When adults show interest and caring to students, they engage in practices that increase students\u2019 non-cognitive skills including self-efficacy, sense of belonging, and development of personal agency that, in turn, increase students\u2019 academic and behavioral outcomes (Connell &amp; Wellborn, 1991; Kelm &amp; Connell, 2004).<\/li>\n<li>Strong relationships between a student and an adult has been repeatedly found to be central to the success of resilient children (Masten &amp; Reed, 2002).<\/li>\n<li>Students value when teachers reach out to them in effortful engagement and show caring (McHugh, Horner, Colditz, &amp; Wallace, 2013).<\/li>\n<li>Further, intentional and routine check ins have been found to improve student outcomes (Maynard, Kjellstrand &amp; Thompson, 2014).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For more information on some of the best practices that schools are using to implement and document Rapid Check-Ins, refer to the following documents:\u00a0<strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/cdn-dev.vanderbilt.edu\/t2-my-dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3108\/2019\/04\/Best-Practices-for-Implementing-Documenting-RCIs.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Best Practices for Implementing &amp;
