Chapter 6 champs
- 2. Intro: This module presents no new concepts but asks us to review implementation of: •Vision •Organization •Expectations •First month •Motivation ***Note the tools needed for data collection were uploaded separately***
- 3. •Circulate when possible, scan all sections of the classroom continuously- •While teaching, observe students for behaviors to praise and misbehaviors to correct
- 4. Use data to monitor and adjust classroom management and discipline plan- Once or twice a month use observation tools to collect data that can help you adjust your management plan
- 5. Circulating ď‚— Unpredictable patterns ď‚— Do not spend a majority of time in one area. ď‚— Avoid a walking pattern that may let students know that you will not be near for a significant amount of time. ď‚— Proximity is important and shows interest in your students ď‚— Provide positive feedback and gentle consequences when needed
- 6. Visual Scanning ď‚— Visually sweep the whole classroom- learning centers across the room back rows front corners, wh0le class activity and occasionally look up and stand up around the room. ď‚— Provide positive feedback and gentle consequences when needed ď‚— If you see a group problem solving praise in front of the whole class. ď‚— Visual scanning helps identify students in need of assistance or that have questions. ď‚— Look for opportunities to acknowledge and encourage responsible behavior.
- 7. •Listening to all parts of your classroom is a vital part to your management plan. •Set a baseline level for background noise. •Increase or Decrease in noise level may be an indication that the teacher needs to actively listen. •Circulate in unpredictable patterns to observe and know when to apply corrective consequences, consistently, calmly and immediately.
- 8. TASK 2 Use data to monitor and adjust your classroom management and discipline plan ď‚— Periodically use observation tools to collect data to help adjust your management plan . (Observations Tools / Data Sheets are in a separate attachment) ď‚— Is management going well and can it be maintained? ď‚— Are there problems in your management that need to be adjusted? ď‚— Does your level of classroom structure need to be maintained or revised?
- 9. Use this tool to evaluate each major activity during your day on how well your students are meeting champs expectations.
- 10. Criticism Trap – There are 3 versions to find out if you are inadvertently perpetuating student misbehavior.
- 11. There are 4 different versions for this tool. For elementary teachers it helps you to systematically record your students behavior for 1 day. It also helps you determine if your level of structure needs adjustment or whether 1 or more of your students may benefit from behavior management plan or class wide motivation system.
- 12. An up to date grade book can be utilized. It determines whether students are exhibiting problems with absenteeism, tardiness, work completion or assignment failure. Analyzing this data will help you determine if a behavior management plan is needed.
- 13. This tool is used to determine on task behavior during independent work time. If students are on task less than 80% of the time you need to re-teach your CHAMPS expectations for work periods or implement some form of class wide incentive system.
- 14. How actively engaged are your students in your lessons? Are your students responsive or passive recipients? This tool requires you to observe yourself on video or having a colleague observe you.
- 15. Tool 7 is a short survey that can be given to families to discuss with their children at the end of the year and/ or during the year. The information will help you identify whether there are aspects of your classroom management plan that you need to communicate more clearly or do differently.
