This session will examine how to organize the classroom to reduce discipline problems and prompt responsible behavior from students. Specific strategies covered will include structural elements such as effective use of classroom rules, effective and ineffective room arrangements, and effective instructional practices for keeping students engaged. In addition, how to teach and re-teach exceptions will be a major focus. This session will assist those already familiar with the CHAMPS approach to evaluate current practices in order to confirm effective practices and to revise some aspects of their current classroom organization.
