The CHAMPs Acronym C-- Conversation H-- Help A-- Activity M-- Movement P-- Participation Safe & Civil Schools

CHAMPs C- Conversation: can students talk to each other during this activity/transition H- Help: How can students get questions answered during this activity/transition? How do they get your attention? A- Activity: What is the task/objective of this activity/transition? What is the expected end product? M- Movement: Can students move about during this activity/transition? Are they allowed to get up to sharpen a pencil? P – Participation: What does appropriate student behavior for this activity/transition look/sound like? How do students show that they are fully participating? Safe & Civil Schools

The Difference between Discipline and Rules Procedures and Routines Discipline concern how students behave Discipline plans have rules, consequences and rewards The purpose of rules is to set boundaries or limits Procedures concern how things are done and are statements of student expectations Routines are what the students do automatically Procedures and routines teach what students are to do or work at. Classroom management plans have procedures The First Days of School Harry K. Wong, 2009

Why Are Procedures Important? Classroom procedures are statements of student expectations Classroom procedures allow different activities to take place efficiently Classroom procedures tell students how the classroom is organized Classroom procedures increase on task time and greatly reduce classroom disruptions Classroom procedures tell student how the classroom is organized thus reducing discipline problems Offer security, greatly reduces classroom disruptions and discipline problems pg. 170 The First Days of School Harry K. Wong, 2009

Two Kinds of Consequence Positive consequences or REWARDS result when people abide by the rules Negative consequences or PENALTIES result when people break the rules The First Days of School Harry K. Wong, 2009

The First Days of School Harry K. Wong, 2009 Two Kinds of Rules Specific Rules: Typically focus on particular behaviors. In class when the bell rings No offensive language Hands, feet and objects to yourself General Rules: encompass wide range of behaviors Respect others Be polite and helpful Keep the room clean The First Days of School Harry K. Wong, 2009

The First Days of School Harry K. Wong, 2009 Consequences Consequences are NOT PUNISHMENTS It is simply what happens when a person does something, a result of a person’s chosen action It is advisable to spend more time discussing consequences than discussing rules. Help students understand that their actions or choices result in consequences and consequences can be negative or positive. The First Days of School Harry K. Wong, 2009

The First Days of School Harry K. Wong, 2009 Classroom Rules Limit rules to a number that you and the students can readily remember- never more than 5. If you need more than five rules, do not post more than five at any one time Rules need not cover all aspects of behavior It is the teachers prerogative to replace one rule with another at any time As a new rule becomes necessary, replace an older one with it. The rule you replace can be retained as an “unwritten rule”. The students are still responsible for the one you have replaced. Rules must have consequences. DO NOT STOP instruction when carrying out consequences. The First Days of School Harry K. Wong, 2009

Classroom Expectations and Rules for Success Follow directions first time given Change tasks quickly and quietly Raise hand and wait for permission to speak Keep your voice to an inside working level Report directly to the assigned area Be responsible Be respectful Be prepared Your expectations of your students will greatly influence their achievement in your class and in their lives.

Common Transitions Changing classes Beginning and ending routines Moving as a class to a different location (i.e., library, lunchroom) Cleaning up after a group project Moving to and from cooperative groups
