Lesson Plans       

DLH school maintains curriculum objectives in all areas.   Each instructor has flexibility in meeting these objectives (outcomes).

DLH Homework policy

Homework provides additional learning experiences for students. These experiences can have positive effects on achievement and character development and can serve as a vital link between the school and family.

Homework should focus on:

• Practice of skills introduced in class
• Pre-reading of new material to be introduced in class
• Integration of skills that are applied to a single project.

Purpose

Homework should have different purposes at different grades:

Kindergartners:

            Benefit from being read to and having involvement with skills which expand their horizons but do not

             involve independent study.

Elementary (grades 1-5) school students should be given homework to:

• Develop good study habits .
• Communicate that learning takes place at home as well as at school .
• Provide time to practice and extend learning, especially through independent and oral reading .

Middle and high school students should be given homework to:

• Improve achievement .
• Extend the time available for both practice and investigative learning .
• Help more mature students take charge of their own learning opportunities.

Research Findings

            Based on an analysis of research studies, there is uniform agreement among researchers that:

            It is more positive for learning to distribute material across several smaller assignments than to concentrate on larger units of material over a short time.

            Homework assignments for students with identified learning disabilities should be short and focused on reinforcement of skills and class lessons.

            Monitoring of assignments for students is necessary for all and critical for those with identified learning disabilities and/or an English language deficiency.

            Individualization of basic homework assignments for those without an approved modified program has proven not to result in substantial benefits which justify the amount of additional teacher time required.

            Homework should involve parents' encouragement, oversight, and monitoring of study management by their student. Homework assignments should keep required parental involvement in the academic content to a minimum.

• Homework should be evaluated and corrected by teacher soon after completion.
• Homework should include date and red pen corrections. 

Roles and Responsibilities  :

Headmasters  are responsible to:

¬  Communicate the homework policy

¬  Monitor the homework policy

¬  Coordinate implementation as needed

Teachers are responsible to:

¬  Clearly indicate to students how the assignment is related to the topic under study.

¬  Indicate the purpose of the assignment.

¬  Define how the assignment might be best carried out.

¬  Stipulate what the student needs to do to demonstrate successful completion of the assignment; this       involves communicating carefully at the beginning of the assignment the criteria which clarify the             teacher's expectations.

¬  Evaluate and give prompt feedback.

 Parents:

¬  Should rarely be asked by the teacher to play a formal teaching role in homework

¬  Should be asked to create a home environment that facilitates student self-study

¬  With the primary grade children, may have direct involvement in listening, memorizing, etc.

¬  Should be monitoring completion of homework for students in Grades 1-8

Conclusion

When teachers and parents work together to implement these recommendations, homework can be useful and generally free from a high level of frustration. These parameters can and should receive broad support from both parents and teachers. DLH  teachers should make whatever adjustments are necessary to live within these general parameters and parents should support these efforts to make homework beneficial

Classroom Organization

Well-Ordered Environment + Positive Academic Expectations = Effective Classroom

Here a few tips to guide you to an effective classroom!

Classroom Organization

A. Visually Appealing

When welcoming students into your classroom set the tone to the environment to let them know they are in the right place.

1. Place names on the door using shapes or theme related cut outs.                                  

2. Have the child's name placed on his/her desk.

3. Name tags.

4. Use appropriate colors to decorate your classroom.

5. Commercial displays are acceptable, but the creativity that comes from you is special!

6. Have your classroom child-oriented-age-appropriate.

7. As an Islamic school please post material with Islamic content.

B.     Furniture & Seating Arrangement

How you choose the arrangement of furniture depends on how you choose to teach. The tasks you want to accomplish should determine the seating arrangement you will choose.

1. U- Shape- this set up of desks allows students to have you in full view for discussions or demonstrations.

2. Cluster grouping-this arrangement is ideal for group activities.

3. Rows- single file seating is preferable for tests, movies or lectures.

4. Children seated in a quiet area on the floor- when story time is present, it is preferable to have the students sitting on the floor in a quiet area. The atmosphere should be quiet and cozy. If possible, an area rug or mat should exist. For younger student adding puppets or stuffed animals enhances the environment.

• Where a teacher places his or her desk also plays an important role. Some teachers prefer the desk in the front of the room, others in the back. Still others prefer the desk to the side. Where ever you decide to place your desk remember it is basically there for your lesson plan to rest upon and perhaps for slight storage. Your desk is not a place for you to remain seated during the school year!
• Please take into consideration that as an Islamic school our genders need to be separated to the best of our ability.

Utilizing Space

No matter what the size of your classroom, you need to utilize your space as effectively as possible. Below are a few suggestions to help get you started!

• Use zip- lock bags of all different sizes to store manipulative.
• String a clothesline from one end of the room to the other.
• Be colorful! Use plastic clothes pins to hang and display students' work.

Student Behavior

Disciplinary Actions for Students:

a)   Before giving a reward or consequence:

1. Spreading out the family spirit inside and outside the classroom and bonding the relationship between teacher and student.
2. Following the advanced and novel methods of teaching in all subject areas for attracting the student’s attention and making use of all intelligences during any given session.
3. Establishing the rule of reward and consequence.

b)  Rewards:

1. Verbal praise during school.
2. Granting gifts.
3. Granting ribbons or tokens of positive praise.

Discipline

• ·It is expected that teachers will exhibit effective classroom management skills. Disciplinary actions, therefore, will normally be administered at the classroom level. Where there is a serious occurrence or continued student misbehavior negatively affecting the learning of others, the teacher may consult with the counselor for advice or he/she may request the Principal to intervene and/or send him/her to the Principal.
• Staff shall be responsible for encouraging and teaching students to be responsible for their own behavior. They shall clearly communicate in a timely manner with parents and Principal pertinent information and appropriate documentation and evidence regarding students' behavior.
• Teachers should manage student behavior in the classroom and administer discipline according to board policies, administrative regulations. It is not permissible to raise or shout your voice at students, but use more civilized ways when you discipline or direct a student.(2014)

 Instructional staff is responsible for consistently applying the following guidelines in administering consequences of positive and negative behavior:

1. Consequences and teacher behavior should be administered in, and tempered by love
2. Consequences and teacher behavior should maintain the dignity of the student
3. Consequences and teacher behavior should be logical and appropriate
4. Consequences and teacher behavior should be fair, equitable and consistent
