In the ever-evolving landscape of classroom management, the CHAMPS Behavior Management System stands out as a proven approach that fosters a positive learning environment. Developed by Dr. Randy Sprick, CHAMPS focuses on the fundamental principle that students are more likely to succeed when they understand clear expectations.
The acronym CHAMPS represents the critical components of effective classroom management: Conversation, Help, Activity, Movement, Participation, and Success. By outlining and communicating these expectations, teachers can create a structured environment where students know precisely what is expected of them during various activities, leading to a more harmonious and productive classroom.
Streamlined Organization with Editable CHAMPS Behavior Management System
One of the most practical tools within the CHAMPS framework is this editable resource designed to simplify the process of communicating expectations. Unlike bulky charts and multi-page documents, this resource is compact, fitting neatly onto a single sheet of paper.
This streamlined format is perfect for teachers who want to maintain an organized binder of expectations for different activities. The one-page design allows for quick reference and easy updating, making it an invaluable asset for teachers striving to keep their classroom management systems both effective and efficient.
Whether it’s for group work, individual tasks, or transitions, having all your expectations clearly laid out and accessible in one place can significantly enhance classroom management.
Effortless Adaptation for Daily Activities
The editable CHAMPS mini-posters offer unparalleled convenience for teachers who maintain consistent expectations across daily activities. Each activity can have a tailored mini-poster, which can be quickly swapped out as the day’s schedule progresses.
This flexibility is particularly beneficial in classrooms with a predictable routine where the expectations for activities like reading time, math lessons, or group projects remain the same each day.
By simply changing out the mini posters for each new activity, teachers can reinforce expectations without repeatedly explaining them, saving valuable instructional time and reinforcing consistency in student behavior.
The smaller size also makes posting in multiple places around the classroom easier. Here are some examples of where you can display CHAMPS signs in your classroom:
- Classroom Library
- Centers Area
- Computer Station
- Bathroom
- Backpack Area
- Recess Equipment Area
Keep each sheet in a plastic sheet protector and keep them in a binder together for an easy organization system that will last for years!
Customizable and User-Friendly Design
To cater to the diverse needs of different classrooms, the editable CHAMPS resource is available as a Google Slides template. This user-friendly format allows teachers to personalize their expectations and incorporate clipart that resonates with their classroom’s theme or students’ interests.
With the ability to adjust text and imagery, teachers can craft a resource that communicates expectations effectively and aligns with their unique teaching style and classroom dynamics.
If you need some help getting started, I’ve created 35 premade signs that you can print and use immediately. These signs were made with basic expectations that I’ve seen in many classrooms.
In the video above, you will see how I make a sign. I’m cutting and pasting the clip art so that I can use the same image again if I want to, but you can also just drag and drop the clip art you want. All clip art options are available on every slide.
