CHAMPS Expectations

CHAMPS is a classroom management approach which clearly communicates behavior expectations during instructional time to the students.  CHAMPS goals or expectations are posted in the classroom each day and I will also go over those expectations at the beginning of class.  Students can easily be redirected so they maximize time on task and concentrate better.   Off-task behaviors should be minimized and understanding of the content/productiveness increase.

       (0 = no talking, 1 = academic table talk, 2 = Presentation voice)
