CW-FIT studies demonstrate  K-8 students show a 20-40% increase in engagement during instructional periods . These engagement gains translate into 1-2 periods per week of recovered learning time.

Over the course of the school year, this increase in engagement would provide an estimated equivalent of adding 36 lessons (elementary) to 72 lessons (middle school). Potential attendance gains with CW-FIT could greatly increase these estimates!
