Questions We Asked Our Staff

• CHAMPs Training at Rosemont has provided our
  school with
• CHAMPs Training at Rosemont helped me to

25
Rosemont Staff Feedback

• Joy, 3rd Grade Teacher
• Uniform procedures and consistency with the
  general behavior expectations of students (and
  all staff)
• Establish general but encompassing rules, and
  procedures for classroom management.
•  

26
Feedback (cont.)

• Lynda, 3rd Grade Teacher
• Realize that kids need to know EXACTLY what
  teachers expect every moment of the day.  And a
  lot of the times teachers dont even really know
  what they expect of their students or how they
  are conveying their expectations.  It was eye
  opening to go through planning CHAMPs
  expectations for all time slots of my day and
  think through what I expect of my children.  When
  sometimes I had to stop and think about if kids
  were allowed to talk, how loud, etc.  I realized
  that if I had to think about it, kids really had
  no way of knowing my expectations.  After fixing
  some of these issues I had more consistency in my
  class and less chaos.   

27
Feedback (cont.)

• Wendy, 1st Grade Teacher
• A way to structure classrooms that enables new
  teachers to feel more secure in what they need to
  do. CHAMPs training made me feel good about what
  I am already doing well and helped me to identify
  areas to work on.

28
Feedback (cont.)

• Amanda, 4th Grade Teacher
• Materials to maintain a consistent classroom
  management plan.
• Understand that as a teacher I set the
  expectations in my room and how to get the
  children to meet them.

29
Feedback (cont.)

• Kaara, 1st Grade Teacher
• A common language and understanding of classroom
  school wide management strategies.
• Structure my classroom to fit the needs of my
  students.

30
Feedback (cont.)

• Roxanne, 5th Grade Teacher
• Resources to improve in all areas and an
  opportunity to share our successes with each
  other.
• Helped me to organize my classroom better.

31
Feedback (cont.)

• Deborah, 1st Grade Teacher
• A uniform message for classroom management and
  dealing with behavior and class disruption. WE
  ARE ONE VOICE AT ROSEMONT and the children who
  begin here and remain here know that and
  understand that even though the face is different
  each year the CHAMPs message is the same.
• Opportunities to share my views on classroom
  management and to also learn from others. CHAMPs
  training provides an outlet to hear what others
  are doing and to find the things that WORK for
  your classroom and teaching style.

32
Feedback (cont.)

• Jacqui, Reading Support Teacher
• Consistency.  Students are now aware of CHAMPs
  as they are promoted from year to year.
• Remember to explain my expectations to my
  students before each activity.
