Description¶

The report describes a concrete implementation routine for CWPT: practice 30 minutes a day, including 20 minutes for tutoring and 10 minutes for material preparation, with individual end-of-week testing and pretesting of upcoming material. Each Monday students are paired and assigned to one of two teams; partners take turns tutoring and testing each other and award points for correct answers, and the team with the most points is announced daily and recognized each Friday.

Design Implications¶
