Meet the Teachers Amy Tandberg (972) 347 - 7431 Kelsey Cox (972) 347 - 7433 Richard Jacob (972) 347 - 7434 Brittany Peden (972) 347- 7435
CHAMPSA Proactive and Positive Approach to Classroom Management • CHAMPS is a classroom management technique. It is designed to help classroom teachers develop (or fine tune) an effective classroom management plan that is proactive, positive, and instructional. • CHAMPS stands for: • C Conversation - Can students talk to each other? • H Help - How do students get the teacher's attention? How do they get their questions answered? • A Activity - What is the task/objective? What is the end product? • M Movement - Can students move about? • P Participation - How do students show they are fully participating? • S Success - If students follow the CHAMPS expectations, they will be successful.
