We’re thrilled to welcome you to three powerful days of learning, connection, and collaboration as we continue building bridges to support all students in Okaloosa County. This year’s institute is designed to equip educators, paraprofessionals, and service providers with strategies that not only address behavior but also strengthen academic outcomes and inclusive practices.

This session will introduce (or reinforce) the CHAMPS framework as a powerful tool for creating a positive, structured classroom environment. Participants will learn how to clearly define and teach behavior expectations using the CHAMPS acronym—Conversation, Help, Activity, Movement, Participation, and Success. Through real-world examples and practical applications, educators will explore how to set students up for success, reduce misbehavior, and build a classroom culture that supports both academic and behavioral growth. Perfect for teachers looking to strengthen their Tier 1 behavior supports and create a more predictable, engaging learning space.
