CHAMPS: A Proactive and Positive Approach to Classroom Management
![]()
|
CHAMPs assists classroom teachers to design (or fine tune) a proactive and positive classroom management plan that will overtly teach students how to behave responsibly. Easy implementation of the strategies in the CHAMPs book will: * Reduce classroom disruptions and office referrals * Improve classroom climate * Increase student on-task behavior * Establish respectful and civil interactions By following the effective, research-based practices outlined in CHAMPs, teachers develop methods for clearly communicating their expectations on every classroom activity and transition. Expectations to clarify are: Conversation (Can students talk to each other during this activity?) Help (How do students get the teacher’s attention and their questions answered?) Activity (What is the task/objective? What is the end product?) Movement (Can students move about during this activity?) Participation (How do students show they are fully participating? What does work behavior look/sound like?) Key Benefits of CHAMPs: * Teachers establish clear expectations with logical and fair responses to misbehavior. * Teachers spend less time disciplining and more time teaching. * Teachers learn tools to motivate students to do their best. * Students are taught how to behave responsibly. In addition to our CHAMPs books, we offer a video in-service training program.
