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.

READ 180

READ 180 is a blended learning instructional model that integrates reading, writing, vocabulary, and grammar instruction to improve reading achievement for adolescent readers. The program is composed of three parts: whole-group direct instruction, small-group rotations, and whole-group wrap-up. The instruction begins with 20 minutes of whole-group direct instruction, followed by rotations of smaller groups of students through three activities: small-group direct instruction, students' independent use of a computerized READ 180 Student Application, and modeled and independent reading. The instruction ends with a brief wrap-up discussion with the whole group.
