Classroom Management

The CHAMPS acronym stands for:

• 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?

• Success: When students meet CHAMPS expectations, they will be successful!

According to Safe and Civil Schools, CHAMPS strategies are easy to implement and will:

• Reduce classroom disruptions and office referrals

• Improve classroom climate

• Increase student on-task behavior
