Staying at your desk. Sharpening pencils. Generally not disturbing other people. • Level 0- Freeze!!!! Nobody anywhere

  17. C.H.A.M.P.S. Method • “P”- Participation • What counts as participation and what does it look like? • Active engagement in the current activity • Lecture/Notes- listening, asking questions, writing the material down • Lab- Working with your group and participating • Individual projects- Working without disturbing others • Testing- Remaining quietly at your seat
