Subject: Discipline Policy Date

Our school is interested in thestudents' behavioral aspects which are as important as the academic andeducational sides. We also want to emphasize the teacher`s role as an educatorfor the students which is a very important role as well. That is why we haveintegration between both sides as the academic staff of the school iscontributing in building the student`s personality and behavior. So, teachersare kindly requested to pay attention to the important educational role by the followingguidelines:

 ✓ Not all the students arecases and not all mistakes should have the same consequence.

✓ Teachers should be aware ofconnecting any discipline procedure with its objective

 ✓ Teachers can consult thesocial consultant for guidance on how to deal with cases.

✓ Consultation with otherteachers of the same class may be helpful in dealing with the

     case withoutoverestimating the student`s mistakes

✓ The repeated complaints fromthe same student without taking any action are evidence that the teacher shouldexert extra effort to solve the problems.

 ✓ Teachers should discuss theissue clearly to avoid taking a wrong decision.

✓ Discipline procedures shouldbe cumulative then you can ask for help.

✓ Additional class work andhome work can be a good discipline procedure

✓ Depravation of activities,trips or breaks is not allowed as a discipline procedure.

✓ Blaming the student aboutsomething he is not responsible for like coming late to school or missing hisbooks …, etc.  is not the rightaction. Teachers may advise the student or guide him how to solve hisproblems which is better and more effective.

✓ Sending the students outsidethe class is not allowed unless the teacher takes the actions and needs fartherhelp.

✓ Collective punishment is notallowed

 ✓ Physical contact or usingthe loud voice is not allowed
