CHOOSING HEALTHY ACTIVITIES & METHODS PROMOTING SAFETY
ABOUT C.H.A.M.P.S
Today’s students face dangers older generations could not have imagined. Choosing Healthy Activities and Methods Promoting Safety (C.H.A.M.P.S.) was founded in 2003 by the Georgia Sheriffs’ Association to address these urgent challenges.
Target Audience: Fifth graders. GSA’s goal is to eventually extend this program into the middle schools and high schools.
Program Length: Twelve weeks is recommended; however, the program may be shortened or extended to meet the needs of the Board of Education and the Sheriff.
Class Length: 45-60 minutes, one day a week.
Instructors: C.H.A.M.P.S. lesson plans are taught by certified deputy sheriffs who have successfully completed C.H.A.M.P.S. instructor training.
Presentation: Each instructor will be equipped with lesson plans, PowerPoint presentations, and student workbooks.
Supplies / Equipment: The use of PowerPoint is required. Therefore, a laptop computer and LCD projector are required. The local school system may have one or both that can be utilized. Since counties throughout the state will be teaching different topics, student workbooks are required for the students.
