7. DISCIPLINARY CODE
Discipline is an extremely important aspect
in schools. The purpose of this section is to
familiarize yourself with the disciplinary
code and to reflect on its functionality.
• It helps with the running of day to day
activities since the school is not chaotic
and learners know that there are
consequences to their actions.
Describe three important aspects of the code (e.g.
offences, procedures, etc)
• The maintenance of the discipline in
regards to the policy, the rules.
• Fair and just policy because the school
looks at both sides of the offences,
procedures are put in place to see the
sides.
• No favoritism, if there is any relationship
you’re put aside and not involved because
you may be biased.
How do you think the code supports staff
members in establishing good discipline in
the school? Explain your answer and give
examples.

NAME OF STUDENT:
Was the general conduct of the student irreproachable (on time, conduct
according to school requirements for teachers)?
, • The student’s conduct was irreproachable because she showed great enthusiasm for her school
work and always wanted to help in class. She came to school on time for her practicals and always
asked questions where she did not understand. The student blended in well with the other
teachers as she sought to know and learn more about the profession.
Was the level of subject knowledge of the student sufficient for the presentation of
lessons?
• The student’s knowledge was sufficient and on point because she does extra lessons and tutoring
for the learners. She was also part of the Global Teacher’s Institute social development program
that helps learners struggling on Saturdays.
Did the student make use of your suggestions and recommendations to improve
her/his work?
• Yes, she made use of my suggestions and even helped me improve my relationship with the
students because we talked after every lesson/ lesson observation.
Did the student prepare properly when she/he had to present lessons?
• Yes, she made lovely power-point presentations and lesson plans that were very eye catching and
interesting. Although, with a bit of practice here and there, she would be great at what she does.
Did the student work regularly/ continuously on her/his portfolio?
• Yes, she constantly did her portfolio and all her school work and asked questions where she did
not understand.
Did the student complete her/his portfolio during the Practical Teaching period?
YES/NO
• Yes
Strong points of the student/ good qualities and good work done:
• She used to stay over at school and help the learners who did not understand the lesson/topic.
Learners used to come to her during break time and she always was welcoming in helping them.
The student didn’t mind setting Friday tests for the learners, mark and give them feedback. She
also volunteered to help with extracurricular activities.
Aspects on which student still have to improve to be ready to enter education as a
beginner teacher:
, • The student should show more confidence and be sure of her work, because she knows her work,
she just needs to be sure of it. She should stop being shy and just keep the ball rolling because
she’s doing great as is.
