CW-FIT (Class-Wide FIT) is a tiered classroom management system for K-8. Teachers teach a small set of expected behaviors, then reinforce them through team-based goals, points, and praise. It's been studied in nearly 30 peer-reviewed articles and runs in classrooms across the U.S. and abroad.
I-Connect is a free self-monitoring app for students. Educators, mentors, and families pick the goal and the check-in interval. Students answer yes/no on their phone, tablet, or laptop, and the data flows back as charts and reports.

Individual Growth and Development Indicators (IGDIs) are six-minute play-based assessments that monitor development in children 6 to 42 months. The system pairs four assessments with training, certification, an optional scoring service, and a free online data platform.
Literacy Bridges connects literacy research to the educators, coaches, and school leaders putting it to work in classrooms. The program includes online courses, free downloadable resources, and coaching engagements for K-12 literacy practice.

PC-TALK (Promoting Communication: Tools for Advancing Language in Kids) gives early educators, home visitors, and families a small set of strategies and tools that grow language and communication in children birth to 5. Most materials are free in English and Spanish.
