Behavior Management Steps and Stages for Students
The policy is part of the comprehensive policy titled “Behavior for Learning Policy”- version of September 2018 which was reviewed in June 2019 by Phase Leaders and Students’ Support Committee.
Abiding by this policy ensures the smooth pacing of the day-to-day Teaching and Learning processes at DIPS-G and guarantees highest levels of student’s safety at all times.
Behavior Management Steps: G1-3
In this level, preventative guidance is the approach used to modify the behavior of students. However, the discipline system is also used when necessary.
Stage 1
The teacher will counsel the student in private.
Stage 2
The teacher will issue a verbal warning. Any member of staff may issue a verbal warning for any violation of the Student Code of Conduct.
Stage 3
The teacher will write an Incident Report to the Administrative Supervisor. The Supervisor will meet with the student for counselling and guidance. Parents will be notified of the incident.
Stage 4
The School Counsellor and Phase Leader will meet with the teachers, parent, and student to engage them in helping the student modify his/her behavior and decide on the appropriate actions and procedures which may include some or all of the following:
- Daily Behavior Monitoring Report
- Denying student of some extra-curricular activities and trips; In-school community service
If the cycle of offenses continues, the student will be referred to the Superintendent Office and parents will be called in for an interview to discuss the student behavior and implement a more comprehensive remedy plan.
Behavior Management Steps: G4- 12
Stage 1
The teacher will issue a verbal warning for the first violation of the classroom rules or any minor violation outside of the classroom. Any member of staff may issue a verbal warning for minor violations of the Student Code of Conduct.
Stage 2
If the student is reported to repeat minor violations, the Administrative Supervisor will issue a written warning (only for grades 6-12). Any member of Staff may notify the Administrative Supervisor of a violation of the Student Code of Conduct.
Stage 3
The supervisor will assign an in-school community service work for one or more days. If the violation occurs within the same subject/period, the student will be asked to leave the classroom for 5 minutes to consider her/his behavior and its impact on the learning of others. If the violation continues to occur in the same subject or in a number of other subjects, the supervisor will call the student out of class and contact parents for consultations.
Stage 4
The student will be asked to give a written reflection on their behavior and the impact it has on their own and others’ learning.
Conduct marks will be deducted.
Stage 5
The student will be required to sign a behavior contract. Parents will be notified about the signed behavior contract.
Conduct marks will be deducted.
Stage 6
Parents will be asked to come to school. The student will be placed on a behavior monitoring report. The student will have specific targets to achieve in order to improve her/his behavior for learning. Teachers will be asked to assess the extent to which these targets have been met every lesson. The report must be shown to the Administrative Supervisor at the end of every school day. At the end of the week, the student, parents, and the Supervisor will be asked to comment. The monitoring report will run for a minimum of three weeks in order to break the cycle of negative behavior.
Conduct marks will be deducted.
Stage 7
Where appropriate and possible, the student will be moved into a different section. S/he will not be permitted to take part in any extracurricular activities during or outside school time for the remainder of the term. Parents will be informed in writing.
Conduct marks will be deducted.
Stage 8
The student will be internally suspended for a period of one to three days. Parents will be informed in writing.
Conduct marks will be deducted.
Stage 9
The student will be externally suspended from school for a period of one to three days. Parents will be required to attend a meeting with the Phase Leader and Principal before the student is readmitted to school. The school may not be willing to register the student for the following term/academic year. The re-occurrence of a major offense will result in a 3 to 7 days external suspension.
Conduct marks will be deducted.
Stage 10
The school will write to KHDA confirming that it intends to expel the student permanently. Registration at DIPS-G for the following year will not be permitted.
Conduct marks will be deducted
