CHAMPS – Classwide Positive Behavior Support (PBS)

All teachers want their students to be orderly, responsive, engaged, and motivated. According to the most current research on teacher effectiveness, putting a successful behavior management system in place is a sure way of achieving these goals. Safe & Civil Schools can help you get there!

Professional development in our CHAMPS program over the course of one year will help teachers in schools throughout the district:

• Improve classroom behavior (on-task, work completion, cooperation)
• Establish clear classroom behavior expectations with logical and fair responses to misbehavior
• Motivate students to put forth their best efforts (perseverance, pride in work)
• Reduce misbehavior (disruptions, disrespect, non-compliance)
• Increase academic engagement, resulting in improved test scores
• Spend less time disciplining students and more time teaching them
• Teach students to behave respectfully and to value diversity, thereby reducing cultural differences that may manifest as misbehavior
• Feel empowered and happy to be in the classroom
• Develop a common language about behaviors among all staff
• Create a plan for orienting and supporting new staff
• Reduce staff burnout

Projects

CHAMPS projects are custom designed to deliver long-term sustainable training to meet the needs of your district or school. Our positive behavior support specialists can help you develop a training program to deliver CHAMPS training over time, thereby increasing effectiveness. We can also help train district or building based coaches to help observe and assist teachers in their behavior management plan. Over time we can help build district level support to sustain the process. Call us today and speak with one of our positive behavior support specialists at 1-800-323-8819.

Workshops

If you’re the principal of a school that could benefit from fewer classroom disruptions and increased student motivation, implementing CHAMPS can make it happen. It isn’t necessary to involve your entire district to initiate changes in your school. We have implemented CHAMPS in one school, several schools in a district, and every school in a district — all with equal success! Read more about our supplementary workshops.

If you'd like to launch a CHAMPS project in your school, please call us today at 1-800-323-8819 for more information!
