Expectations/CHAMPS
CHAMPS is a district-wide proactive and positive approach to classroom management used to encourage student responsibility and motivation. The guiding principles behind CHAMPS enhance engagement and learning by empowering students with techniques to behave responsibly and respectfully.
The students are directly taught to meet expectations by detailing each classroom activity and transition using the "CHAMPS" acronym:
C-Conversation
(How, why, and to whom may students talk during this activity?)
H-Help
(How can students get help or teacher attention?)
A-Activity
(What is the task or end product of the activity?)
M-Movement
(How much, when, and why may students move around?)
P-Participation
(What does on-task behavior look/sound like?)
