At Saks High, we follow a proactive behavior plan called CHAMPS:

 

Conversation: Can students talk to each other during an activity?

Help: How do students get the teacher's attention and their questions answered?

Activity: What is the task? What is the end product?

Movement: How should students move around during this activity?

Participation: How do students show they are fully participating?

Success: When students meet CHAMPS expectations, they will be successful!
