Consult with the learner, observe the learner then develop a support plan.

Before disciplining established clear expectations. Communicate classroom rules, expectations and consequences to learners at the beginning of the year. Then address the behaviour using a calm and respectful tone.

What should happen to each learner involved in the incident above? What does your school’s code of conduct advise on situations like this? How do you think an incident like this could be prevented?A very serious and sensitive situation. As a responsible educator, I’ll outline the steps that should be taken for each learner involved. Learner Who Stabbed the Other will get Immediate Suspension and report the matter to the police. A disciplinary hearing should be conducted to determine the severity of the offense and the appropriate consequences. Depending on the severity of the incident and the learner’s disciplinary history, expulsion from school may be considered. The learner should receive counseling and support to address any underlying issues that may have contributed to their behavior. The learner who was stabbed should receive immediate medical attention to treat their injuries. The learner should receive support and counseling to deal with the trauma and emotional distress caused by the incident.The school should ensure that the learner is protected from retaliation or harassment from the learner who stabbed them.The learner who recorded the incident should be investigated to determine their involvement and motivations. Depending on the findings of the investigation, the learner may face disciplinary action for their role in recording and potentially disseminating the incident.
The learner should receive education on responsible social media use and the potential consequences of recording and sharing violent incidents. Our school’s code of conduct usually emphasizes the importance of maintaining a safe and respectful learning environment. The code explicitly prohibits violent behavior, including physical altercations and possession of weapons. It also outlines the consequences for such behavior, including suspension, expulsion, and counseling.
To prevent incidents like this from occurring, our school can:Implement Conflict Resolution Programs, teach learners effective conflict resolution skills, such as mediation and negotiation.

As a responsible and caring educator I would never inflict corporal punishment on a learner regardless of parental permission. Corporal punishment is a violation of children’s rights and can have severe physical, emotional and psychological consequences.

Consistent attendance demonstrates that you’re dependable, responsible and serious about your job. It is important for teachers to always be available at work as frequency of absence lead to content gap and being left behind with curriculum.
