Introduction to CHAMPsWhy Champs?
The goal of classroom management is to develop a classroom of students who are: Responsible Motivated Highly engaged in meaningful tasks
Introduction to CHAMPsUnderstatement: Not all students come to
us motivated and/or responsible. Some are responsible and highly motivated.
Some are responsible, but only moderately motivated.
Some are like Huck Finn, severely at risk.

Introduction to CHAMPs
CHAMPs provides research-basedtechniques and strategies that canimprove student behavior,
attitude, andmotivation.
The CHAMPs Basic Beliefs Teachers can structure and
organize their classrooms to prompt responsible student behavior.
Teachers should overtly and consciously teach students how to behave responsibly in every classroom/school situation.
The CHAMPs Basic Beliefs Teachers should focus more time,
attention, and energy on acknowledging responsible behavior than responding to misbehavior.
Teachers should preplan their responses to misbehavior to ensure that they will respond in a brief, calm, and consistent manner.

Introduction to CHAMPs The acronym CHAMPs reflects the
“categories” or types of expectations that you, as a teacher need to clarify for students about every major activity or transition that occurs in your classroom.
The CHAMPs AcronymConversation: Can students talk to each other
during this activity/transition?Help: How can students ask questions during this
activity/transition? How do they get your attention?
Activity: What is the task/objective of this activity/transition? What is the expected end product?
Movement: Can students move about during this activity/transition? Can they sharpen their pencil?
Participation: What does appropriate student work behavior for this activity/transition look/sound like?

CHAMPs Modules CHAMPs is organized into 8 modules.
Each module focuses on one important aspect of effective classroom management.
Within each module, specific tasks are presented to help you achieve such tasks.
Each module includes a self assessment tool that you can use to identify which of the tasks you have completed, and those you still need to address.

Module 1: VisionYou must know for which harbor you are headed if you are able to catch the right wind to take you there.
Seneca
Module 1: Vision Task 1: Long-Range Classroom Goals Task 2: Guidelines for Success (PBS Behavior Expectations) Task 3: Positive Expectations Task 4: Family Contacts Task 5: Professionalism Task 6: Behavior Management
Principles Task 7: Level of Classroom Structure
Vision: Task 4 Family Contacts
Build positive relationships with your students’ families by
making initial contact with them at the beginning of the year
and maintaining contact throughout the year.
Vision: Task 4 Family Contacts
The probability of effectively educatingstudents increases tremendously whenschools and families work together.
The greater the needs of the students, thegreater the need to establish and
maintaincontact with their families.
Vision: Task 4 Family Contacts
Ideally contact should be made before school starts.
Contacts within the first 2 weeks of school will increase parental involvement throughout the school year.
It’s never too late to initiate a relationship with your students’ families.
Vision: Task 4 Family ContactsProvide the following information:
A welcome greeting that indicates that you are interested in getting to know your students’ families
Some information about your background A list of the major goals for the rest of the
year (academic and social-emotional) The best time for parents to contact you A copy of classroom guidelines for success
and rules Invitation for questions or comments
Vision: Task 6Behavior Management Principles
Student
behavior
Conditions that set the stage (antecedents)
Pleasant consequences result in the behavior
increasing in the future. (reinforcing

Unpleasant consequences result in
the behavior decreasing in the future.
(punishing consequence)Effective teaching involves the
management of both antecedents and consequences
Must teach replacement behavior
Vision: Task 6Behavior Management Principles
Small Group Activity Divide into groups of 3-4 Assign each person one section to read:
Promoting Responsible Behavior (p. 30-31) Misbehavior Occurs for a Reason (p. 31-32) Case Study (p. 32-34)
Teach your assigned section to the other members of your group.
Vision: Level of Structure Determine whether your students need
a classroom management plan that involves high, medium, or low structure. When a class has high risk factors and there
is low structure, academic and behavior problems will occur.
Disengagement causes chaos!
Vision: Level of Structure To determine the level of structure
needed for your management plan, take 5 minutes to complete the “Management and Discipline Planning Questionnaire”
CHAMPsA Proactive and Positive Approach to Classroom
ManagementMODULE 2 Organization
OrganizationWhen you have well organized routines and procedures for your classroom, you model and prompt organized behavior from your students.
Organization Classroom organization influences the
behavior and motivation of students. This module presents 7 tasks to help
organize a classroom. These tasks can be completed before
school starts so that a solid organizational structure is in place beginning on day one.
Organization Task 1: Daily Schedule Task 2: Physical Space Task 3: Attention Signal Task 4: Beginning and Ending Routines Task 5: Classroom Rules Task 6: Student Work Task 7: Classroom Management Plan
Organization: Classroom Rules
Identify and post 3-5 classroom rules that will be used as a basis for providing positive and corrective feedback.
Organization: Classroom Rules Keep the number of rules to a

Organization: Classroom Rules Students should be as familiar with
the consequences as they are with the rules. (Consider a “What If Chart.”)
Deliberately teach the consequences for rule infractions and rule compliance.
Consider different rules for different centers.
Organization: Classroom Rules Example rules:
Arrive on time with all of your materials.
Keep hands, feet, and objects to yourself.
Work during all work times. Follow directions immediately.
Organization: Classroom Management Plan
Prepare a “Classroom Management Plan” with which you can summarize the important information, policies, and procedures that you will use to motivate students and address student misbehavior.
Organization: Classroom Management Plan Major categories of the Classroom
Management plan: Level of classroom structure (Module 1) Guidelines for success (Module 1) Rules (Module 2) Teaching expectations (Modules 3 & 4) Monitoring (Module 6) Acknowledgement procedures (Module 5) Correction procedures (Module 7) Managing student work (Module 2)

teachers a framework and guidance for developing a complete Classroom Management Plan that is compatible with school-wide PBS.
CHAMPsA Proactive and Positive Approach to Classroom
ManagementMODULE 3 Expectations
ExpectationsWhen your expectations are clear, students never have to guess how you expect them to behave.
Expectations Avoid misbehaviors by clearly defining
and then explicitly teaching students how you expect them to behave in class and during transitions.
Expectations will vary from teacher to teacher. What are your expectations?
The purpose of the CHAMPs acronym is to provide a template for which you define your expectations for your students’ behavior in any given setting or activity.
Expectations: CHAMPs Conversation: Can students talk to each other
during this activity/transition? Help: How can students ask questions during this
activity/transition? How do they get your attention? Activity: What is the task/objective of this
activity/transition? What is the expected end product?
Movement: Can students move about during this activity/transition? Can they sharpen their pencil?
Participation: What does appropriate student work behavior for this activity/transition look/sound like?
Randy Sprick on Expectations Video
Expectations It is noted that clearly defined behavior
expectations are not enough. Expectations must also be
communicated and taught in a 3-step process:
1 Teach your expectations
before the activity or transition
begins.
2 Monitor student behavior by
circulating and visually scanning.
3 Provide feedback during
and at the conclusion of the
activity.Begin the cycle again for
the next activity
Expectations This module focuses on the application
of the 3-step process to teach expectations for the following activities: Classroom activities Transitions Preparation of lessons on expectations Use of common areas (hallways, cafeteria,
etc.) Social skills
Expectations for Classroom Activities
Define clear and consistent behavioral expectations for all regularly scheduled classroom activities (e.g., small group instruction, independent work periods, etc.)
Expectations for Classroom Activities The first step is to make a list of the major
types of activities that students will engage in on a daily basis.
This list may include:Attendance routines Teacher-directed
instructionSmall group instruction Independent workSustained silent reading Class meetingsTaking tests/quizzes Centers/lab stationsPeer tutoring sessions Cooperative Groups“Cushion” activities
Expectations for Classroom Activities
Use the CHAMPs acronym to define detailed behavior expectations for that activity. Details are important, the more specific you
are, the easier it will be to communicate your expectation to your students.
Pay close attention to the level of structure your students need. The greater the structure, the tighter you will need to design your expectations.

ManagementMODULE 4 The First Month
The First MonthWhen you teach students how to behave responsibly during the first month of school, you dramatically increase their chances of having a productive year.
The First Month It is MUCH easier to teach responsible behaviors from
the very first day than to deal with negative behaviors throughout the year.
The tasks of the first month ensure that you build positive relationships with students and communicate your expectations clearly.
Research shows: Teachers who take the time to teach expectations explicitly, get further in the curriculum than teachers who don’t.
The First Month Task 1: Final Preparations Task 2: Day 1 Task 3: The First Four Weeks Task 4: Special Circumstances
(substitute teachers, assemblies, field trips, etc.)
CHAMPsA Proactive and Positive Approach to Classroom
ManagementMODULE 5 Motivation
Motivation When you implement effective
instruction and positive feedback, you motivate students to demonstrate their best behavior.
Module 5 provides six tasks for
implementing effective motivational procedures.
Motivation Task 1: Enthusiasm Task 2: Effective Instruction Task 3: “Noncontingent” Attention Task 4: Positive Feedback Task 5: Intermittent Celebrations Task 6: Ratio of Interactions
E x V Theory of Motivation Expectancy x Value = Motivation
Expectancy = degree to which an individual expects to be successful at that task.
Value = degree to which an individual values the reward(s) that accompany that success.
Feather (1982)
E x V Theory of Motivation Often educators attribute a lack of
motivation only to the value component of the formula. “He doesn’t care about good grades.” “He doesn’t care about free time or stickers.”
These explanations do not take expectancy into account.
If either one of these factors is 0, then motivation is 0.
Motivation
The simplest way to ensure that students expect success is to make sure that they achieve it consistently.
Brophy, 1987
Motivation: Task 4 Positive Feedback Effective positive feedback is:
Accurate and related to behaviors that occur.
Specific and descriptive. Immediate as possible. Contingent on behavior that has some
level of importance (“don’t praise junk”)
Age appropriate and cool. Given in a manner that fits your style. I Feed AV (Jenson)
Motivation: Task 6 Ratio of Interaction Our students are very demanding of
attention and will go to many lengths to get it. An emotionally intense reprimand may
be more rewarding than a brief “good job.”
Which is longer, more rich and intense? Your feedback for positive behavior or your corrections for negative behavior?
Motivation: Task 6 Ratio of Interaction The behavior you attend to the most will
be the one that you will see more of in the future.
What behavior do you attend to? Positive student behavior or negative student behavior?
Important Point #1
“They can’t get your goat if they don’t know where it’s tied” Bill Jenson
Motivation: Task 6 Ratio of Interaction Not only is what you attend to important,
the frequency and distribution of your attention is also important.
Research says: Teachers should use a 5:1 ratio. For every 1 corrective or negative interaction, the teacher needs to provide 5 positives for appropriate behavior.
Important Point #2

ManagementMODULE 7 Correction
Procedures
Correction ProceduresDuck Tape: the Answer to
Misbehavior?
Correction ProceduresWhen you treat student misbehavior as an instructional opportunity, you give students the chance to learn from their mistakes.
Correction Procedures 3 important concepts:
Being prepared for misbehavior reduces annoyance and frustration.
Correction procedures are only effective if they reduce the future occurrence misbehavior. This means data!
Most chronic misbehavior serves a purpose.
Analyze MisbehaviorBe prepared to categorize misbehaviors as awareness type, ability type, attention-seeking, or escape/avoidance type– and be prepared to use a basic correction strategy for each category.
Analyze Misbehavior Types of misbehavior:
A. Awareness type: student is unaware of the misbehavior. The intervention should focus on making expectations clear, and helping the student become more aware of her behavior and its affect on others.
B. Ability type: student misbehaves because she does not know how to exhibit the appropriate behavior. The intervention should focus on teaching the student how and when to perform the appropriate behavior. (continued)
Analyze Misbehavior Types of misbehavior (continued):
C. Attention seeking type: student engages in misbehavior to gain attention from peers and/or adults. Interventions should involve ignoring the misbehavior, and teaching and reinforcing the appropriate behavior (a.k.a. DRA).
D. Escape/avoidance type: includes behavior that functions to release the student from an aversive situation or person(s). Interventions will vary based on the specific function of the behavior but will likely include corrective consequences.
Escape/Avoidance Misbehavior
For ongoing misbehavior that functions to release the student from an aversive situation or person(s), be prepared to develop and implement an intervention plan that will likely include corrective consequences.
Escape/Avoidance Misbehavior Much chronic misbehavior occurs to help
a student escape or avoid something. Avoid difficult work or aversive work Avoid aversive social situation (adult, peer) Avoid school in general
The use of corrective consequences alone, however, is not sufficient. Your intervention must also include a component in which appropriate or responsible behavior will be rewarded.
Escape/Avoidance Misbehavior
Step 1: Remove any positive consequences that are maintaining the misbehavior by: Ensuring that the student will no longer get
what he/she has been getting from the misbehavior (attention, etc.).
Ensuring that the student will no longer get out of what he/she has been avoiding with the misbehavior (work, social interaction).
Escape/Avoidance Misbehavior
Step 2: Demonstrate that positive behavior (a replacement behavior) leads to positive results for the student. Example: if the student misbehaves to
get out of work, give breaks contingent upon work.
Escape/Avoidance Misbehavior The replacement behavior must:
Yield as immediate positive results for the student as the misbehavior (long-term reward plans are unlikely to work with these students.)
Be a behavior that the student can easily do (not a new or difficult behavior for the student).
A good replacement behavior makes the problem behavior irrelevant, inefficient, and ineffective for the student.
Escape/Avoidance Misbehavior Suggested Rewards for Replacement
Behaviors: Extra free time Free homework coupon Skip an assignment coupon Contingent breaks Work-break schedule
Escape/Avoidance Misbehavior Step 3: When possible, make the situation
the student is avoiding less aversive. E.g.: Would it help to change the way the task is
presented? Is the pace too slow? Too boring? Is the work too hard? Does the student need
extra help? Does the student know how to ask for help?
Does the student know what to do to get out of uncomfortable social situations? Would counseling or social skills training make the situation easier?
Is there a different place for the student to sit or work?
Escape/Avoidance Misbehavior Step 4: Implement corrective
consequences appropriate to the misbehavior. Plan to be consistent. Make sure the corrective consequence fits the
severity and frequency of the misbehavior. Plan to implement the consequence
unemotionally. If it is necessary to interact with the student at
the time of the misbehavior, be brief and never argue.
Escape/Avoidance Misbehavior Suggested Corrective Consequences:
Time owed Extra work Work during recess After school work session Restitution Positive practice (do it the right way 3 times) Overcorrection (fix it to better than it was
before) Response cost/loss of privileges Demerits
Escape/Avoidance Misbehavior Non-Examples:
“Linda, you skipped 2 days, so we’re going to suspend you for two more.”
“Joey, you lost your math book because you’re obviously not ready to learn today.”
“If you’re just going to sit there, you can sit in the office.”
“You earned detention for not completing your work 3 days in a row.”
Escape/Avoidance Misbehavior Also, corrective consequences will be
more effective if you remember to: Involve the student in developing the
incentive part of the plan. Providing extra help in teaching the
replacement skill. (E.g., social skills training, extra help with academic tasks, etc.)
Escape/Avoidance Misbehavior With your neighbor, discuss a
student you know who demonstrates escape/avoidance behavior.
Share some strategies that you might consider using.
CHAMPsA Proactive and Positive Approach to
Classroom ManagementMODULE 8 Classwide Motivation
Systems
Classwide Motivation Systems There are many circumstances in which
a classwide, rather than an individual motivation system is needed.
For example: Many of the students (>3) in your class
misbehave (e.g., noncompliance, work completion, lack of respect, etc.).
Your students are mostly responsible, but quite a few students have a problem with one specific behavior.
Your students are responsible, but are apathetic, bored, or complaining.
Classwide Motivation Systems
First step: Decide on a reward-based system or
a non-reward based system.
Classwide Motivation Systems Consider a non-reward system for
students who are highly motivated, but could use some structure to keep striving towards their goals.
Examples of non-reward based systems: Goal setting Self-monitoring/Self Evaluation
See p. 341 for a list of systems that are appropriate for classrooms that need high, medium or low structure.
Classwide Motivation Systems Common concerns about rewards
Q: Shouldn’t students work without needing rewards?
Q: Isn’t rewarding behavior the same as bribery?
A: Yes, but some won’t.
A: Absolutely not! Bribery is an offer of payment to do something illegal, unethical, or immoral. Using rewards is analogous to getting a paycheck for doing a job.
Classwide Motivation Systems Common concerns about rewards
(continued)
Q: Won’t students get hooked on rewards?
Q: Isn’t intrinsic motivation better?
A: Possibly, but not likely if the rewards are natural and a plan is in place to fade out the rewards.
A: Maybe, but there is no research to suggest that it’s better. Basic rule: if you can’t motivate students intrinsically, then use extrinsic rewards.
Classwide Motivation Systems Common concerns about rewards
(continued)
Q: Won’t giving students rewards reduce their intrinsic motivation?No. There has been speculation in the past, but there is no research to suggest that rewards will reduce intrinsic motivation. However, if a student is intrinsically motivated, it makes more sense to use non-reward based systems such as goal-setting and self-monitoring.
Classwide Motivation Systems Tips for effectively choosing,
designing and implementing a reward-based system: Make sure the rewards are highly
motivating by using a reinforcer menu or survey.
Set the system up to make student success likely.
Make sure your expectations are clear. Teach the students how the system
works.
Classwide Motivation Systems
Tips for effectively maintaining a reward-based system: Keep your energy and enthusiasm high and
keep your focus on the students’ behavior rather than the rewards.
Continue using other motivational strategies at a high level.
When a system has been successful for a period of time, start making it more challenging and/or modify it to be based on intermittent rewards.
Classwide Motivation Systems Strategies to effectively fade a reward-
based system: Move from a continuous schedule to an
intermittent schedule of reward. Delay rewards (consider increasing the reward
value to help prevent a lack of enthusiasm) E.g., move from a sticker at the end of the day to a
popcorn party at the end of the week. Reduce reward value and increase use of more
natural rewards and motivation strategies.
Classwide Motivation Systems Strategies to effectively fade a reward-
based system (continued): Switch from a class-wide system to an
individual system. Switch to a non-reward system such as goal
setting and self-monitoring.
Note: Be sure to inform the students about the goal to fade the reward-based system.
Classwide Motivation Systems Examples of reward-based systems in
CHAMPs text: 100 Squares (medium structure, K-12) Behavioral Grading (high structure, MS/HS) Economic Simulation (high structure, 2-8) Goal Setting/Goal Contract (low structure, but
can be adapted for medium or high structure) Group Response Cost (medium structure) Lottery Tickets (medium structure)
Classwide Motivation Systems Examples of reward-based systems in
CHAMPs text (continued): Mystery Behavior of the Day (medium
structure) Classwide Public Posting (medium structure) Individual Public Posting (medium structure) Reinforcement Based on Reducing
Misbehavior (high structure) Self-Evaluation of On/Off-Task Behavior
(medium structure)
Classwide Motivation Systems Examples of reward-based systems in
CHAMPs text (continued): Target and Reward a Specific Behavior
(medium structure) Mystery Motivator (medium structure) Team Competition with Response Cost
Lottery (medium structure) Whole Class Points (high structure)
Mystery MotivatorAn Effective and Time Efficient Intervention (Moore, Waguespack, Wickstrom, Witt, & Gaydon, 1994; Rhode, Jenson, & Reavis, 1992)
Feed the Hungry BeePositive Peer Reports: Changing Negative Behaviors By Rewarding Student compliments (Ervin & Friman, 1996; Wright, 2002)
Classwide Motivation Systems
A note about group-contingencies: Do not use rewards that are contingent upon the
whole group’s performance if you have a student or a small group of students who will sabotage OR if you have a student that will ruin it for the rest of the group due to a skill deficit (a “can’t do” situation).Consider instead rewards based on individual performance or on team performance (Huck Finn is his own team until he can demonstrate teamwork skills).
Classwide Motivation Systems
Another note: When using structured motivation systems it
is imperative that the goals and skills targeted are within the student’s ability UNLESS specialized and organized instruction to address those skill deficits is built in.Reward achievement (or lack thereof) reflects the effectiveness of the instruction, not just student performance.
Teaching CHAMPsTips to Increase Workshop
Effectiveness and Implementation Sustainability
Teaching CHAMPs Tips to increase training
effectiveness: Invite teacher and para-pro teams to
attend together Invite multiple teachers from the same
district to attend together Invite consultant(s) to attend with
teaching teams Provide time for participants to develop
the tools
Teaching CHAMPs Tips to increase training effectiveness:
Provide the training during the summer or at the very beginning of the school year (avoid middle of the year, or late in the school year training times)
Provide at least two sessions of training (avoid single day)
Engage participants with many activities Bring chocolate!
Teaching CHAMPs: Formats Recommended training formats:
Two-day workshop during the summer Two days allows time for hands-on activities
and information sharing among participants. Previous participants have expressed
preference for a two-day or multiple session format (versus one-day).
This format allows time for teachers to prepare materials needed for implementation prior to the beginning of school.
Teaching CHAMPs: Formats One-day workshop in the summer with
a one-day follow-up session in late fall This format allows participants to
implement the strategies and bring questions and concerns back to the group for feedback and support.
Two sessions breaks up implementation into two parts: (1) prevention, and (2) correction, which is more manageable in terms of implementation.
Teaching CHAMPs: Formats CHAMPs “class” (half-day sessions
organized per module) CHAMPs was originally designed for a
college course in which training was presented one module at a time.
This format allows participants to implement strategies systematically and slowly and receive feedback and support from the group.
Teaching CHAMPs: Formats Book study (reading assignments with
multiple, 1 hour group discussion sessions)
Meeting time is focused on discussions regarding how each participant plans to implement the strategies presented.
This format may be more manageable in terms of time away from the classroom.
The CHAMPs text is easy to read and lends itself to group discussion.
Reading assignment during “off hours” cuts down on meeting time.
Teaching CHAMPs Tips to increase sustainability:
Provide ongoing opportunities to discuss and troubleshoot CHAMPs implementation
Teacher to teacher Teacher to coach/consultant Teacher to parapro
Systematically use the data collection tools to provide implementation feedback (see Module 6: Monitor & Revise)
