CHAMPS/Discipline in the Secondary Classroom

CHAMPS helps classroom teachers design or fine-tune a proactive and positive classroom management plan that will overtly teach students how to behave responsibly.  By following the effective, research-based practices outlined, teachers develop methods for clearly communicating their expectations for every classroom activity and transition.  By implementing these strategies teachers will reduce classroom disruptions and referrals; improve classroom climate; increase student on-task behavior; and establish respectful and civil interactions.  CHAMPS is a product of Safe and Civil Schools.

Course Objectives: 

At the end of the course, students will be able to:

• Develop a clear vision for their class.
• Create consistent organizational patterns.
• Construct a classroom management and discipline plan.
• Generate clear expectations.
• Use data to monitor and adjust their classroom management plan.
• Increase student motivation and consider implementing a class-wide motivation system.

The CHAMPS third edition book will be provided for K-8th grade teachers and the Discipline in the Secondary Classroom fourth edition book will be provided for 9th-12th grade teachers.
