Target Audience: Educators Grades K-12

Course Objective: Participants learn how to develop a learning environment focused on clear, consistent expectations that increases learner engagement and provides every student the opportunity to be academically successful.

Course Description: Upon attending all five training sessions and the completion of Student Implementation Data, participants will receive a CHAMPS book by Dr. Randall Sprick. Our goal for this 5-session training is to support teachers in the development of a cohesive classroom management plan that supports student achievement.  Components of the classroom management plan include:

• guidelines & rules

• class organization

• student expectations (utilizing the CHAMPS acronym)

• classroom procedures & routines

• class & student motivation

• early stage corrections

We focus on a 3-step process for communicating expectations:

1. teach the expectations

2. observe student behavior

3. provide meaningful feedback

Implementation Activity: Classroom behavior system pre- and post- data are required prior to receiving 12 inservice credits.  

Follow Up Method: Email communication and coaching throughout the implementation period, as well as on-site coaching (per participant request) will be available.

Course Objectives:  Participants will leave this session knowing how to formulate feedback that helps develop or supports a growth mindset in others. In this session, we will explore the influence of our language on the mindset of others and the effects of praise statements –specifically, their impact on engagement and performance for ALL students but with a focus on students with disabilities. Bridging the gap from research to practice, we will learn how to formulate feedback that activates and bolsters a growth mindset in ourselves and ALL learners, including students with disabilities.

Implementation Activity: 3 Points for this professional learning opportunity will be awarded when all requirements are met: attend the session and submit the follow up activity. 

Target Audience: ALL teachers (PK-12 general educators and exceptional educators),

paraprofessionals, administrators, therapists and leadership
