, GETTING TO KNOW THE CODE OF CONDUCT (WHOLE SCHOOL
APPROACH)
As a pre-service (future) teacher, you need to have a thorough knowledge of the
school’s disciplinary codes from the very first day of teaching so that you are
aware of the rules and regulations that the school has put in place for its pupils
and staff. This will assist you with a variety of issues such as classroom
management (knowing what to do if a pupil breaks school rules in your class),
knowing what exactly is expected of you as a staff member etc.
On the first day at school, access the school’s disciplinary code and/or code of
conduct for both staff and pupils and study it. Answer the questions below in the
space provided.
1. Do the pupils have access to the learner disciplinary code and code of
conduct of the school? (1)
Learners are given the code of conduct when they join the school at the
beginning of the year. If they lose their copies, then they’re given more
copies.
Why is it important that pupils have this code and study it closely? (2)
They will be aware of how they can act and what they can and cannot do in class
and at school. Learners will behave better and not just do as they please when
they get to school.
1. Do staff have access to the staff disciplinary code and code of conduct?
(1)
Yes. The codes of conduct are supposed to be in their files.
Why is it important that staff have this code and study it closely? (2)

, It is so they know exactly how they should behave at school. They will know the
proper way to discipline learners, a way that will not put them in danger and will
keep them out of jail, they will also know the boundaries of their actions. The staff
will be more professional in their actions.
2. What is the procedure for staff who are ill and will be taking a day’s leave
from school?
(1)
They should let the principal and HODs know and another teacher will be
asked to fill in for them and take care of their classes.
3. What must the staff member do upon returning to school after leave has been
taken?
(1)
She /he must report to the principal’s office and let him know that she/he is back
to work.
4. Does the school have standard procedures (consequences that are expected
to be implemented in all classes) for dealing with learners who do not
complete homework as a repeat offence? If yes, briefly explain this
procedure. (2)
There is no standard procedure but some teachers make learners stand outside and
complete their work then come back in class. They also give them more home work
to do since there is no detention and the principal can’t do anything because corporal
punishment is not allowed.
