Welcome to CHAMPs: A Proactive and Positive Approach to Classroom Management

This 2008 presentation provides an overview of CHAMPs, a proactive approach to classroom management which focuses on expectations for Conversation, Help, Activity, Movement, and Participation and can be used within a Response to Intervention (RTI) framework to promote positive student attitudes and behavior.  Through a series of eight modules, the presentation explains steps for implementing key aspects of CHAMPs classroom management – Vision, Organization, Expectations, The First Month, Motivation, Monitor & Revise, Correction Procedures, and Class-wide Motivation Systems – and it also provides recommendations and resources for training teachers and paraprofessionals in the use of CHAMPs.  This presentation was given by Soraya Coccimiglio, Katy Holverstott, and Janice DiGiovanni of the Van Buren Intermediate School District in April 2008 at a state conference for Michigan’s Integrated Behavior and Learning Support Initiative (MiBLSi). Other presentations from this conference can be found on the MiBLSi 2008 Conference Presentations website.
