All teachers want their students to be orderly, responsive, engaged, and motivated. According to the most current research on teacher effectiveness, putting a successful behavior management system in place is a sure way of achieving these goals. Safe & Civil Schools can help you get there!
Professional development in our CHAMPS program over the course of one year will help teachers in schools throughout the district:
• Improve classroom behavior (on-task, work completion, cooperation)
• Establish clear classroom behavior expectations with logical and fair responses to misbehavior
• Motivate students to put forth their best efforts (perseverance, pride in work)
• Reduce misbehavior (disruptions, disrespect, non-compliance)
• Increase academic engagement, resulting in improved test scores
• Spend less time disciplining students and more time teaching them
• Teach students to behave respectfully and to value diversity, thereby reducing cultural differences that may manifest as misbehavior
• Feel empowered and happy to be in the classroom
• Develop a common language about behaviors among all staff
• Create a plan for orienting and supporting new staff
• Reduce staff burnout.
