Classroom Management

Management Strategies (CHAMPS) from Randy Sprick’s Safe & Civil Schools as well as Tough Kid Practical
Classroom Management Strategies from Dr. Bill Jenson. The resources and content for these training sessions
are based on the research literature surrounding what effective teachers do to implement Positive Behavior
Support (PBS) strategies in their classrooms. These proactive, positive, instructional approaches to classroom
management connect directly to Objective 1 by guiding educators in how to make effective decisions about
managing behavior resulting in increased student engagement, improved academic achievement, as well as
prevention and intervention for meeting the social, emotional, and behavioral needs of all students.
