Getting to Know the Code of Conduct (Whole School Approach)


1. Do the pupils have access to the learner disciplinary code and code of conduct of the
school?
Yes.
Why is it important that pupils have this code and study it closely?
Students should be able to easily access the code of conduct as it guides learner and
teacher behaviour; students should study this document closely as it states the dos and
don’ts for learners, in and out of the classroom.
2. Do staff have access to the staff disciplinary code and code of conduct?
Yes.
Why is it important that staff have this code and study it closely?
Teachers require quick access to the code of conduct as it guides disciplinary
procedures; teachers should study this closely for clarity on what is allowed and not
allowed for student behaviour and what actions they may take in this regard.
3. What is the procedure for staff who are ill and will be taking a day’s leave from
school?
Staff need to contact the principal and request permission to leave / stay home, should
the teacher be feeling up to it, they may continue with their scheduled lessons on
Google Classrooms from home, if not the teacher should inform the invigilator what
work the students would have to be working on. The invigilation roster will still
however need to be checked, regardless of whether the teacher has left work or is
teaching from home, so that there is someone in the class with the students through
the time that the teacher is not there.
4. What must the staff member do upon returning to school after leave has been taken?
The staff member should follow up on the work that was done and recap with the
students to make sure the students are/were still taught the appropriate content and
that they understood the content. The teacher should also report to the office and fill
in a leave form for their staff file as well as hand in a doctor’s note should it be
necessary.
5. 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 offense? If yes briefly explain this procedure?
Yes, depending on whether or not it is a first offense, learners will be given a warning
or a demerit, the incident is then added to the disciplinary report of the learner, and
should the situation continue the student’s parents are informed, either by written or
oral report from the teacher.
6. If the school does not have standard procedures for homework offenses or if it is not
effective in motivating learners to keep their homework up to date, what would you
suggest as a consequence that could be implemented in the school for learners who do
not complete homework?

8
TPS2602 Desré Maritz
799408 53973607
I would say that the current system in place at Global Leadership Academy is
effective and working, with the exception of the grade 8 students who have not yet
learnt the methods and procedures. Motivating the grade 8 learners is exceptionally
difficult due to the COVID time-tables, the students spend two weeks at school and
two weeks home schooling via Google Classroom, they are overwhelmed and it
would not do to stress them out more.
7. Explain the benefits of having standard procedures that are implemented in all
classes for issues like homework, learners arriving late to class, disruptive learners,
insolence etc.?
If standard procedures are implemented, all students know the consequences to not
handing in homework on time or being late for class – they know what to expect in
each class and are disciplined the same in each class, the teacher can never be accused
of being ‘too strict’ or ‘unfair’ if they follow the procedures set out by the school.
8. Explain the school’s procedure for learners who are regularly absent. If the school
does not have such a procedure or if it is not effective, what procedure can you
recommend and why?
Teachers discuss with one another if they too have experienced the same learner
absent for a consecutive number of days. The register teacher or the deputy principal
then reaches out to the parent(s) of said learner and consults with them if there may be
a problem or a way in which the school can help.
9. Briefly describe the dress code for staff at school that will apply to you during your
teaching practice.
Teachers are expected to be appropriately dressed at all times. The dress code on
Monday for the students is full formal attire – the school tries to reinforce this idea by
asking the teachers to do the same. The rest of the week the teachers may come to
school in Smart-Casual attire, with the exception of jeans, jeggings, shorts etc.
Teachers are requested to wear clothes that are not too revealing, or low cut and any
skirts or dresses should be at least four fingers from the knee.
10. List any two ‘minor offences’ as per the school’s learner code of conduct as well as
the required action to be taken if a learner commits these offenses.
Wearing Make-Up and Littering
The teacher speaks to the learner and reports the incident to the student’s register
teacher; the incident is then reported on the learner’s permanent disciplinary record.
Depending on whether it is a first offense, the student will receive a warning. Parents
will be contacted, via written or oral report, should this be a repeat offense or if the
student has multiple minor offenses on their record. The appropriate punishment will
then be decided on.

Contextual Questionnaire
1. Describe the school at which you did your practical teaching (location, age, facilities,
how many learners are enrolled at the school, how many teachers teach at the school,
language of learning and teaching, etc.)
Global Leadership Academy is situated in the Urban Town of Jeffery’s Bay,
educating between 500-700 students ranging in age from 13-18 years with between
30-40 staff members. The school boasts a TV in almost every classroom, with
whiteboards, Wi-Fi and Chalkboards available to teachers and students. The school
has two man languages of learning, English and Afrikaans and student’s can choose
between their Home Language and First Additional Language.
2. Describe the classroom in which you did your practical teaching (size, facilities,
learning and teaching support materials, classroom atmosphere, etc.)
During my teaching practice, I used classroom number 2; it was equipped with both a
white board and a chalk board, large windows one could open for a breath of fresh air,
a television with cast abilities, ± 30 desks and chairs, a podium, a bookshelf, a
teacher’s desk and a fan. The class has an airy feel and is situated at the end of the
school, giving it a very relaxed atmosphere.
3. Describe the learners you taught during your practical teaching (number per class,
degree of readiness to learn, their home environmental conditions etc.)
I could classify the students in my classes as being extremely privileged, most parents
can afford to pick the students up after school and can either afford extra lessons or
have the time and ability to help the students’ themselves. The school likes to keep
classes small, with the largest average being 25 learners per class, making it easier to
pay attention to individual learners should there be a need. The pupils in my classes
were extremely eager to learn as they had just come back from their 2 weeks at home
and were rather excited to be back, students were extremely engaging, asking many
questions and discussing their work excitedly.
4. Describe your mentor/subject/learning area teacher (knowledge, teaching experience,
helpfulness, guidance, etc.)
Mr Young is extremely knowledgeable about English, he thoroughly enjoys teaching
and interacting with his student as well as all his other duties within the school
context. He has been teaching for over ___years (which includes a brief stint in
Liverpool, United Kingdom) and has really helped to guide the process of
independent teaching and co-teaching.
5. Provide a brief account of your overall teaching practice experience (positive and
negative).
Having never before taught large groups of students, I felt extremely overwhelmed
during my teaching practice. I was very unsure of where I needed to be and what I
needed to do to complete my portfolio.
I very much enjoyed explaining concepts to students and marking their completed
tasks – I was able to easily adapt to being a figure of authority to the students, when

10
TPS2602 Desré Maritz
799408 53973607
on my first day I felt as though they had the authority over me. I learnt that I need to
be more in control of not only my voice, but also my self confidence and my body
language. I enjoyed having the students open up to me as their teacher and while I
was petrified at first, I learnt to like giving specific lessons on learning material and
content.
6. Briefly describe how you conducted yourself in accordance with the South African
Council of Educators?
I respected each student’s constitutional right to their own religious beliefs, I
exercised compassionate authority, promoted gender equality and I respected all
students’ rights to their own uniqueness.

Getting to Know Your Learners


The learners I teach have a variety of different preferences, some of them enjoy eating
spaghetti bolognaise, some enjoy sea food, others enjoy burgers and pizza; however, they are
a fairly active group, while they do watch shows such as E-Extra, Binnelanders and The
Flash, they also enjoy playing sports (rugby and surfing) and play-station games after school.
On a Saturday morning most students sleep late or end up at their friends’ houses, whereas
some prefer to go out for an early morning swim or jog.

The learners I spoke to named accounting, technology and languages as their most disliked
subjects with reasons ranging from ‘difficult subject’ to ‘difficult teacher’ – students do not
enjoy subjects when they have a difficulty understanding the content. Students surprised me
with the wide appreciation for mathematics; most students indicated that they most easily
studied for maths, while others were more drawn to cultural subjects such as life orientation,
the arts and languages.

There was a split between the students when it came to disciplinary matters; some students
believed that scholars that have not done their homework or misbehaved in class should not
be punished at all – their belief being that the students would be disadvantaging themselves
and not anyone else. Students on the other side felt that their peers should be disciplined
more strictly, demerits should increase as should detention time – the feeling being that if
something was assigned it should have been done or students should face the consequences.

It was unanimously agreed upon, by all the students, that learning can be made easier through
better explanations, summarising of work that needs to be learnt and effort put in by the
teachers; the students all felt that they had difficulty understanding work in classes where the
teachers merely worked out of the textbook. The pupils would prefer longer explanations
with more intensive examples to better describe the concepts.

The aspirations of the students range from police / traffic officers to professional surfers and
gamers as well as engineers and psychologists. A noteworthy observation for myself was that
the students who were more drawn to mathematics were the students more drawn to law
enforcement and professional surfing or gaming, whereas the more cultural students were
more appreciative of careers such as psychology and engineering.

Mentor Teaching Activities


Meetings and Duties

Meeting

What meeting did you attend?


A staff meeting was called.

Why was the meeting called?


The main reason behind the meeting was to put forth a proposal to the teachers from the
school management team, they are offering the teachers an opportunity for rent-to-buy
equipment from the school.

When did it take place? (Date & Time)


Monday 8th March 2021 – 14:15PM

Who were the participants at the meeting?


The Principal – Stefan Kleyn; The HOD of Cultural Activities – Mr Young; and Mr Schulz –
the CAT /IT teacher.

Who chaired the meeting?


Johan Oosthuizen – Deputy Principal

What was discussed?


 The possibility of rent-to-buy equipment.
 G.R.A.S.P Teachers – God Seeking, Resilient, Adventurous, Service Leader,
Professional
 FAT Schedule – Teachers are asked to stick to their schedules.
 Moderated Papers due date 12-March-2021.
 Make sure the correct papers are printed for the upcoming test series (the moderated
papers)
 One of the school sponsors will be visiting the school on the 11th March, please ensure
all classroom are clean and tidy – windows included.

How often do these meetings take place?


Every Monday afternoon, unless advised otherwise.

What did you learn from attending the meeting that has helped you develop as a teacher or
that you can use in your teaching?
Teachers have the ability to shape young minds and in order for them to do that they need to
be able to become the best versions of themselves – G.R.A.S.P is an acronym I was not fully
aware of before my teaching practice. This gives you the basic guideline of what the school
expects of its teachers on a daily basis, teachers should be God Seeking, Resilient,
Adventurous, Service Leaders in Professionalism.

Duty

What duty did you perform with your mentor teacher?


Sanitizing of desks and chairs.

When (Date & Time)?


08-March-2021 10:05

How was your mentor teacher ‘monitored’ while doing this duty? (E.g. signing a register)
A register is signed to say that the duty was done.

What did you/your mentor teacher have to do to perform this duty?


Each desk is sprayed twice with sanitizer and one spray on the chair, and then a cloth is used
to wipe down both the desk and the chair.

How often must your mentor teacher perform this duty?


Each desk and chair needs to be sanitized after each lesson, the students are given a 10-
minute break between each period so that the teachers may sanitize the desks and chairs
before the next group of students arrives.

Why is it important that a teacher performs this duty?


This duty is important to ensure health and safety for all the students within the classes,
COVID-19 is sweeping the globe and teachers have to do everything they can to ensure the
safety of the learners.

Roles of Teachers

My mentor teacher, Mr Young, is both Head of Department of English as well as the Cultural
Head of the school. This involves him setting up and moderating all the school English
papers as well as attending meetings for subjects. Mr Young is also on the School
Management Team, which serves as a disciplinary board and governing body as well as takes
charge of the school maintenance, functions and all school related activities. Mr Young
attends meetings for the School Management Team, every Friday afternoon, where they
discuss the different happenings at the school, major disciplinary measures, school functions
and all matters that pertain to the running of the school. Donovan Young also leads the
assembly on a Friday morning and quite often has a turn to do a reading / testimony with the
staff in the morning meetings from 07:30 to 08:00.

Weekly Journals
Journal for week 1 – Date 03 March 2021

Anxiety filled and rather rushed, my first week in a classroom was nerve wracking to say the
least. I had previously co-taught classes online, but a physical classroom is nothing
compared. The students actively engaged with me and were increasingly interested in the
lessons I taught – I learnt that it’s okay not to know the answer to every question the learners
ask, I also figured out how to silence a group a learners when trying to hear one student in the
back. I need to find my confidence; I am able to easily hide it from the students but I feel I
am rushing through the lesson due to my own self-esteem (or lack thereof).

It’s interesting for me to experience the extra-curricular activities, I have always been
someone who enjoys individual activities / sport, and I was never someone who would have
voluntarily joined a team – yet somehow I always yearned to be a part of one, for the same
reasons I am enjoying it now, the camaraderie and team spirit can be felt even as a spectator.

I have difficulty approaching my mentor due to my own fears and insecurities – he has been
very welcoming and accepting of the responsibilities of being a mentor to a student teacher, I
however feel that I am lacking the confidence to speak to him and use him as a source of
information. I most need to calm my nerves and broaden my expectations of the learners and
what they are capable of – there are some learners who stand out but others who need to be
brought out of their shells slightly more to enable them to grow to their full potential.

Journal for week 2 – Date 08 March 2021

I feel more confident in my teaching abilities than I did last week, my class has been
responding nicely, I still get flustered when asked a bit of a difficult question but I know I
need to work on my ability to say ‘I don’t know.’ I am still trying to find my voice when it
comes to correcting the students – I have difficulty with word choice as students don’t like
being told their answers are incorrect, they often take offense or feel as if I’m attacking them.

I have learnt that the nerves experienced when teaching the students will get better with time
and with more time spent on the subject – as I become more fluent in my subject, so will I
become more fluent with the learners and their expectations and outlooks.

My mentor teacher has been increasingly helpful, in the sense that he motivates me and gives
helpful advice when he can see I’m in need. In our independent teaching lesson this week, he
offered words of motivation and again extended the invitation to speak to him if I had any
uncertainties. I feel that I could have done better with my participation in extra-curricular
activities this week; however I have been extremely overwhelmed.

Journal for week 3 – Date 15 March 2021

While being an extremely busy week, I feel so inspired to push on with my teaching career,
to become the best version of myself that I can be and to help students grow to what they can
be. I had the privilege to have student’s art projects handed in to me this week, they were so
proud and so excited about what they accomplished that I couldn’t help but feel that joy with
them.

I feel that my confidence was where it should have been this week, I was able to talk slower
when giving lessons and think more clearly, I was a lot less anxious in my dealings with both
the students and the teachers and I was able to notice where something worked and didn’t
work in a lesson. I got to know my mentor teacher a little bit better and I got to experience a
lady’s teacher night for the first time.

The staff and students have really made me feel very welcome in my teaching practical and I
owe them a great deal.

Co-Teaching
Forming an Effective Team with your Co-Teacher

1. How long before each lesson will we meet to discuss the lesson and our co-teaching
strategies?
We will meet one day before the lesson to discuss methods for teaching as well as
content. We will then decide who will be running the lesson as well as who will be
helping with student interaction.

2. What procedures will we establish for our classroom? (Lining up, where are bags
kept, where do pupils sit, how are they dismissed etc.)
Students line up outside the classroom and wait for instruction, Mr Young will invite
them in and greet them, he will then introduce me as the student teacher, and I will
introduce the lesson.

3. How will we handle disruptive behaviour?


Between Mr Young and I, we will delegate disciplining unruly students, if things
really get out of hand, Mr Young will take charge as the more experienced teacher.

4. What are the rules for learners regarding: going to the bathroom, talking to another
learner, asking a question, walking around, and so on?
Students should raise their hands and ask permission to go to the bathroom, although
this is only allowed once the class activity has been handed over and not while
teaching.

Reflection on Co-Teaching

Reflective Element

1. What aspects of co-teaching worked well for you?


A. I thoroughly enjoyed having the opportunity to teach alongside someone as
experienced as my mentor teacher, I was able to get constructive feedback
from someone who I had the opportunity of observing as well. It also helped
that there was someone available in the classroom other than myself when I
was unable to answer a question, Mr Young would assist me by jumping in at
the right moment, which also helped me learn.

2. Which aspects of co-teaching did you find difficult/challenging/strange?


A. It was difficult to find times that Mr Young could accommodate me, as I was
assisting the school with another class at the time – along with the school’s
ever-changing schedule due to COVID.

3. How did the learners respond or react to co-teaching?


A. The students were used to co-teaching, the school has an active opportunities
programme for student teachers and the learners quite often have another
teacher in their classrooms – in various stages of completing their degrees.
The school also has two experimental classrooms that can be opened up to
form one large classroom for the purpose of combining the Grade 10, 11, and
12 English Poetry and Literature classes, so co-teaching is something the
students are very used to.

4. What advice would you give a mentor teacher when it comes to co-teaching with a
student?
A. Personally I was extremely nervous and unsure of myself, this has more to do
with my mental state than anything, but I would encourage all mentors to try
to understand how daunting it can be to enter a school for practical and adjust
to the teachers, the school’s systems and procedures, as well as the students.

5. What advice would you give student when it comes to co-teaching with their mentor?
A. Ask, ask, ask … It is so important to ask all the questions you need to and can
before the teaching practice period is over. Mentors are a fountain of
knowledge and student teachers should take full advantage of this.

6. Which of the six co-teaching forms do you prefer? Why?


A. I do prefer the team-teaching model, it helps me evaluate students and learn
from my co-teacher, while also gaining the experience and confidence I need
to be a better teacher.
