At Al Maaref Private School, we strive to help students reach their full potential. We believe that behavior plays a key role in student achievement and development. We must encourage students to make positive choices and take responsibility for their actions; therefore, we have developed our school-wide behavior policy to reflect this. We believe that parents and teachers must work together to communicate these values to students by:

  • Having high expectations for behavior.
  • Involving parents at every stage.
  • Demonstrating respect for others.
  • Showing respect for the school environment.
  • Considering safety of everyone.
  • Helping them to learn.
  • Encouraging positive contributions.
  • Listening to others.
  • Respecting and valuing differences of others.
  • Treating individuals fairly.
  • Helping the classroom remain an orderly place.
  • Communicating and demonstrating what “good” behavior is and helping students to understand what “poor” behavior is and how it should be corrected.
  • Recognizing achievements of individuals.
  • Communicating and demonstrating that good behavior is rewarded and poor behavior has negative consequences.

We must help students understand and display appropriate School Rules:

  1. Physical or verbal violence is strictly forbidden.
  2. Listen with respect.
  3. Follow instructions.
  4. Raise hand to speak.
  5. Keep the school safe and tidy.
We must always make efforts to reward students with praise and recognition for following the rules and behaving appropriately. We want students to know exactly what behaviors they need to display. Teachers must create an environment that is conducive to students engaging in good behavior inside and outside the classroom. They should:
  • Provide good quality teaching.
  • Set clear expectations of students ‘behaviour.
  • Maintain an orderly classroom.
  • Avoid raised voices and aggressive body language.
  • Make specific constructive, positive comments.
  • Encourage students to set their own goals and maintain a sense of responsibility.
  • Establish consistent classroom procedures.
  • Give clear explanations.
  • Set learning objectives and work requirements out clearly.
  • Monitor progress carefully.
  • Give feedback about student’s work frequently and regularly.
  • Give clear instructions so activities run smoothly.
  • Handle misbehaviour quickly and calmly so the pace of the lesson is not lost.
  • Listen carefully and react appropriately.
  • Draw to parents' attention children's achievements in work and behaviour.
  • Provide rewards through praise, compliments and commendations for good attitudes and conduct.
