We use the CHAMPs acronym to define detailed behavioral expectations for EACH instructional approach that you use. Here is the CHAMPs acronym along with questions to ask yourself for developing each structured activity.
Conversation: Can I converse during this activity? About what? With whom? For how long?
Help: How do I get your attention for help? How do I get questions answered? What should I do while I wait for you?
Activity: What is the expected end product of this activity? What is the task or objective?
Movement: For what reasons can I get out of their seats during this activity? Do I need permission to do so?
Participation: What behavior shows that I am participating or not participating?
Success: There are no questions for this one. When CHAMPs expectations are met, students will be successful.
