Rationale: In Taiwan, approximately 90% of students with disabilities are placed in inclusive classrooms (Ministry of Education, 2020). However, those with challenging, disruptive behaviors receive less acceptance from regular education teachers and peers. Their challenging behaviors adversely impact the learning of other students and the teacher (Leu et al., 2015; Hsu & Chan, 2008). Proposed by Howard Wills in 2010, the Class-Wide Function-Related Intervention Teams (CW-FIT) intervention is an integration of evidence-based behavioral intervention and classroom management strategies. Four major strategies were designed to be implemented in the first and second tiers of the three-tiered positive behavior support model: behavior instruction, group contingency, differential reinforcement of appropriate behavior, and self-management. CW-FIT has been studied in inclusive classrooms across different education stages with evidence of success in the United States and Taiwan. However, no study has investigated its effectiveness on challenging and appropriate behaviors of students in Taiwan. Purpose: This present study investigates the effectiveness of the CW-FIT program on inclusive classrooms, on challenging and inappropriate behaviors of students who are high-risk for emotional and behavioral disorders, and on teacher behavior. |
