This is a child friendly poster with a set of Madrassah rules and good and bad behaviour. The rules may differ from one Madrassah to another depending on its unique context and its teachers’ judgements. -
This table indicates the three types of misbehaviour: minor, serious, very serious Teachers and the management are advised to apply their common sense as regards to classification of misbehaviour in their Madrassah. The categories may differ from one Madrassah to another depending on its unique context and its teachers’ judgements. However, an agreement must be reached by the Madrassah staff on the classification of different forms of misbehaviour so they may have a unanimous and consistent response to them. Once this list has been drawn, teachers will find it beneficial to refer to it before responding to a child’s misbehaviour. It is also advisable that parents and children are given a copy of the list so they know your Madrassah has strict boundaries. Learn more about how to use this tool. -

Students who raise regular concern over their behaviour, performance, punctuality and attendance can be put on a 'Report'. Students who are on report are ones who require urgent intervention and a close eye on them until they are back on track as the average students in the classroom. The report allows the teacher to set specific goals, which the student has to aim to meet every lesson. The teacher ticks the goals that have been met and comments on the ones that haven't. At the end of the week (or a set period of time) the student meets with a senior member of staff to discuss goal attainment and the parents are kept informed. -
One response to a Very Serious misbehaviour is to invite parents/ guardians of the student to attend an official meeting with a senior person at your Madrassah. The letter attached requires the student to send the letter back with a signature from the parent/guardian. -
A printout of four traffic lights: green, amber, red, dark red. These colours correspond to the following types of behaviour respectively: positive, minor, serious, very serious misbehaviour. At the start of the lesson have all students' names by the green light. Students who spend maintain positive behaviour throughout the entire day are awarded a green sticker/stamp in their diary. At the end of the term, the number of green stickers/stamps are added and the students with a certain number are awarded. On the other hand, students who misbehave during the lesson go to the next colour on the traffic light system which corresponds to a series of disciplinary actions. Learn more about how to apply this behaviour management strategy in your classroom. -

In doing so, the student learns the etiquette of apologising, practices empathy and reflect on the negative impact bad behaviour has had on someone else and how they could make better choices next time. -
This slip can be given to a student who has been given time-out to help them use the time effectively to reflect on what the problem was with the way they acted and why and how they should make better choices next time.
