CHAMPS: What is it?
A CHAMP is an acronym, or a word formed from the first letters of other words.Champsare a simple way to spell out our procedures, or norms.Whenwe all follow procedures, the day runs more smoothly and we can all focus on the objective to be learned.
CHAMPS
CHAMP stands for ….ConversationHelpActivityMovementParticipation
Beginning Class
Conversation:No one should be talking after the bell rings.Help: Raise hand, wait forresponse.Activity:Working on the starter or whatever is written on the board.Movement:Getting out all the materials for class, putting away your backpack UNDER your desk. Not beside. No one out of their seat without permission.Participation: Every one is ready and working on their starter
Independent Work
What does the word independent mean?Conversation- noneHelp- first consult your book or notes, second ask teacher, third, if teacher is busy, move on to the next problem and continue workingActivity- work quietly until assignment is done, or finish for homeworkMovement- Students may move about only when permission is granted by the teacher. As long as no one is at the pencil sharpener, you may use it quietly.Participation- Students are busy and quietly working on assignment without disturbing others.
Brain Break: Lost!
On a sheet of paper, name one item you’d like to take with you on atrip. Each person brought one thing with them – something they really enjoy. It can be anything!The situation is dire! Following a shipwreck, everyone has been stranded on a deserted island. One person record each person’s item!Now, at your table – you have to find a way to survive and get to safety. Discuss as a group how you can combine your items to find a way to survive long-term.
Teacher Instruction
Conversation: Only when given permission byteacher. No blurting out.Help: Raise hand, wait for responseActivity: actively listening andlearning.Movement: None.Participation: All students are actively listening while seated and following teacher’s instructions
Cooperative Learning
Conversation- Quietly work with your group only. Being rowdy will result in the lack of opportunities to work in a group.Help- First, try our classroom resources to find the answer with your other group members. If you still need help, ask the teacher.Activity- Students must work at their job to complete the assignmentMovement- Only move if the assignment requires you, or if the teacher gives you permissionParticipation- Each group member has a particular job. Students are actively working together, giving equal shares of participation to arrive at a solution to the task. Why?
Maxwell’s Warning System
You get at least TWO warnings in my class before we have to move onto the consequence menu.These warnings can be either verbal or on a card.If you receive a cardDO NOT TOUCH IT. Leave it right where I put it. If it falls, raise your hand and I will get it. If you do touch it,no more warnings.If I flip the card over to “2” then you are on the second warning. If I take the card away then know that you are on the consequence menu.What is code zero?
Common Sense
If you get in trouble, why is it a good idea NOT to talk back to the teacher?If the teacher asks you to do something, why should you not delay?Is it disrespectful to simply do whatever it is you want?Why?We all have bad days, but why is important not to let it affect your behavior?Mr. Maxwell’s DO-NOTS: 1)Do not say something back to me once you get in trouble. If you can’t say “Yes sir,” don’t say anything. 2) Do not start laughing when you are in trouble.
