Be An Effective Teacher

CHAMPS is a program/class teachers can take to help with management in your classroom and behavioral management as well! It is a great tool, but I have to say that the class is meaninglessly long and too simple. Here is a screenshot of a video I made for my class... A descent pic to represent the post. Haha.

An excerpt directly from the dailyteachingtools.com website.

Conversation: Can students converse during this activity? About what? With whom? For how long?
Help: How do students get your attention for help? How do students get questions answered? What should they do while they wait for you?
Activity: What is the expected end product of this activity? What is the task or objective?
Movement: For what reasons can students get out of their seats during this activity? Do they need permission to do so?
Participation: What behavior shows that students are participating or not participating?
Success: There are no questions for this one. When CHAMPs expectations are met, students will be successful.

This is great, but it can be a lot harder than expected in a real classroom. Things do not always run smoothly. Really any method of classroom management is fine as long as you are positive (somewhat enthusiastic) and stern. Anyways, CHAMPS can be used for any classroom activity, whether it be a lesson, an assignment, or a group in-class project. Really, all I can say is don't stress and do your best. None of these classes are going to teach you! It's experience that is key!
