Effects of classwide peer tutoring (CWPT) on the academic performance of 14 mildly handicapped and 36 nondisabled students enrolled in three 10th-grade social studies classrooms were examined. Effects were analyzed using a multiple baseline design across settings with a withdrawal of treatment in two classrooms. Analysis of results indicated that the implementation of CWPT produced an average increase of 21 points on weekly tests. With CWPT 60% of all students earned “A” grades, failing grades were virtually eliminated, and no mildly handicapped students received grades below “C”. Anecdotal student and teacher comments were positive. Implications for secondary, mainstreamed students and teachers were discussed.
