Class-Wide Function-Related Intervention Teams (CW-FIT): Improving Student Behavior in Elementary School Music Classrooms

Class-Wide Function-Related Intervention Teams (CW-FIT) is a classroom management strategy that incorporates social skills instruction, group contingencies, praise, points, and group rewards to target student behavior in an elementary school music classroom. CW-FIT involves organizing the class into groups or teams, praising and awarding points to groups that exhibit social skills and participate appropriately in class lessons, and providing rewards to groups that meet a predetermined point goal. The teacher introduces one social skill per class period, reviews the skills with the students at the beginning of each class, and displays social skills posters in the room for reference.

Fusion Reading: Supplemental Reading Intervention for Middle and High School Students Scoring Below Grade Level

Fusion Reading is a supplemental reading intervention designed for middle and high school students who score at least 2 years below grade level on standardized reading measures. It builds on the work of the Strategic Instruction Model's Learning Strategies Curriculum and Xtreme Reading by integrating some of the same strategies, focusing on reading, and extending the time frame from 1 to 2 years in duration. Struggling students are enrolled in the supplemental intervention for one class period for 5 days a week.

Repeated Reading: Increasing Oral Reading Fluency for Students with Developed Initial Word Reading Skills but Inadequate Reading Fluency for their Grade Level

Repeated reading is an academic practice that aims to increase oral reading fluency. It is intended to target students who have developed initial word reading skills but demonstrate inadequate reading fluency for their grade level. During repeated reading, a student sits in a quiet location with a teacher and reads a passage aloud at least three times. The teacher selects a passage of about 50 to 200 words in length. If the student misreads a word or hesitates for longer than 5 seconds, the teacher reads the word aloud, and the student repeats the word correctly. If the student requests help with a word, the teacher reads the word aloud or provides the definition. The student rereads the passage until he or she achieves a satisfactory fluency level.
