Things to Consider About Your Particular Campus
Classroom Management Plan- page 10 in New Teacher Handbook. LISD adopts the Positive Behavior Interventions and Support (PBIS) system of classroom management. You will often hear the acronym CHAMP, which is for management of the classroom. There is a specific breakout session for PBIS but it is a good idea to check with your campus administrator to see how it is implemented on your campus.
