CHAMPS
CHAMPS is a class-wide positive behavioral support (PBS) to develop an instructional structure in which students are responsible, motivated, and highly engaged in the specific task at hand.
More particularly, the teacher's goal is to teach students directly how to be successful in specific class situations.
We use CHAMPS for all classroom activities, as well as transitions. CHAMPS expectations are posted in the classroom for easy reference.
CHAMPS Acronym:
C Conversation: Under what circumstances, if at all, can students
talk to each other during this activity? If they can talk during the activity,
with whom can they speak, about what, for how long and how loud?
H Help: How can students get questions answered during the activity? How do they get
your attention? What should they do while waiting for help?
A Activity: What is the task/objective of the activity? What is the expected end product?
How much time is needed? What should the students do if they finish early?
M Movement: Can students move about during the activity? Do they need your
permission? What travel routes should they take?
P Participation: What does appropriate student work behavior for this activity look and
sound like? How do students show that they are fully participating? What behaviors
would indicate they are not participating?
