What Is a LiveSchool Champion?
A LiveSchool Champion helps normalize usage and model consistency across staff.
Champions are not responsible for enforcing usage, monitoring compliance, or providing technical support.
The most effective champions take small, visible actions: sharing resources, answering quick questions, and modeling consistent use in their own practice.
You don’t need to use everything in this toolkit. Even one resource can make a difference.
Start Here (5 Minutes)
If you only have a few minutes, start here:

Run-It-Yourself Staff PD Agenda (about 40 minutes)
Run-It-Yourself Staff PD Agenda (about 40 minutes)
A champion can run this in a staff meeting or orientation. It is mostly hands-on. The goal is simple: every teacher gives a real point before they leave the room.
Before you start: ask everyone to have the LiveSchool app on their phone or a laptop open and be logged in.
1. Why we are doing this (5 min)
Play Video 1: Why LiveSchool
Then one sentence from you: "This is how we live out our expectations every day, not one more thing to track."
2. Give your first point (10 min): the important one
Play Video 2: Give Your First Point in Two Taps
Then everyone does it live: pick a student, pick a behavior, hit Submit. Have a few people say theirs out loud. Do not move on until everyone has given one.
3. Make it a habit (8 min)
Play Video 3: Build Points Into Your Routines
Each teacher picks ONE of the four moments (start of class, independent work, group work, transitions) to start with this week. Have them write it down.
4. Praise that actually works (7 min)
Play Video 4: Praise That Actually Changes Behavior
Land the two habits: name the behavior, stay four to one.
5. Commit and close (5 min)
Everyone commits out loud or on a sticky note: "Five points before lunch tomorrow."
Point them to the full path for the rest on their own time (rewards, redirecting, reports, tools):
Optional extension (15 min):
Play Video 5 (Rewards) and set up a class reward store together.

Launch Nudge Email
Subject: Quick LiveSchool update
Hi team,
We’re rolling out LiveSchool as a simple way to recognize positive behaviors and build more consistency across classrooms.
You don’t need to do everything at once. Starting with 1–2 behaviors and using it when it feels natural is more than enough.
More to come soon, but feel free to reach out with questions.
Thanks!
Reassurance / Normalization Email
Subject: LiveSchool reminder – keep it simple
Hi team,
Just a quick reminder that LiveSchool isn’t about perfect usage. Consistency over time matters more than frequency.
If you’ve used it a few times already, you’re doing it right. If you haven’t yet, jump in when you’re ready.
Thanks for giving this a try!
Student Buy-In Highlight Email
Subject: Students are noticing LiveSchool
Hi team,
Just a quick share: students are already paying attention to points and rewards in LiveSchool.
The more consistently we use it, the more buy-in we’ll see from them. Even small moments of recognition add up.
Thanks for leaning in!
Mid-Year Reset Email
Subject: Quick LiveSchool reset
Hi team,
As we head into the next stretch of the year, this is a good moment to reset how we’re using LiveSchool.
You don’t need to change anything major. Even restarting with one behavior and using it consistently is enough to make an impact.
Students respond when expectations feel clear and consistent across adults, and this is an easy way to reinforce that.
Thanks for keeping it simple and sticking with it!
