CHAMPS Behavior

CHAMPS
A Positive and Proactive Approach to Classroom Management

CHAMPS behavior is a very important part of our school to enable students to demonstrate respect, responsibility, and readiness. This is a model for what we expect our students to look and sound like at school during the day. Each letter stands for something that will help your child understand how to be a CHAMP.
C = Conversation  Can students talk to each other during the activity?
H = Help How do students get questions answered during the activity?
A = Activity  What is the task and the objective?
M = Movement  Can students move during the activity?
P = Participation  What does the behavior look and sound like?
S = Success for Everyone!
By using effective management practices, teachers can help every student feel and behave like a champion.
