As you may have seen, the Administration has taken the time to redesign registers and has prepared a Behaviour Management record sheet that accompanies your register. We will also be providing a listing of Medical Notes and Learning Support Notes for students in your class. You will find all of the above in your Class pouch.

We are urging you to prioritize taking attendance at the beginning of your class, and taking a head count. ALL registers and behaviour management record sheets MUST be placed back in the pouch as they will be collected and updated on our database at the end of each Sunday.

Please also take the time to read through the medical notes and learning support notes that is provided in your pack to ensure that you are aware of any needs your students may have; and are prepared should a situation arise.

The Government has recently placed PREVENT, its counter-extremism strategy, on statutory footing.

To understand what this means for parents, our teachers and, above all, our children, the Safeguarding Panel have organised a seminar.

Featuring Sheikh Bahmanpour, Sheikh Hilli and the Safeguarding Panel, join Hujjat on Saturday 6 February at 8pm to understand this critical issue.

Dinner will be served.

Please RSVP and/or submit questions by emailing safeguarding@hujjat.org (please also copy simofficeteam@madressa.net so we are aware of representation from the Madressa)

Having successfully completed several Teacher Skills Programmes (TSP) for madrasah teachers last year, we are pleased to offer additional programmes in 2016.

The teachers who participated in this program last year have given excellent feedback and have found the program highly beneficial and relevant to their role as madrasah teachers.

The TSP is a three day program facilitated by Sayyid Aliraza Naqvi who has completed his Cert Ed (PTTLS, DTTLS and CTTLS) and is currently completing his Masters in Education.

The modules covered in the first two days of the programme include:

• Why teach?
• Role and responsibility of a madrasah teacher
• Planning and planning skills
• Inclusive learning
• Assessment
• Reflective practice and personal journal

Day three focuses on micro-teaching where participants get the opportunity to practice the skills they have learnt in the first two days and get valuable feedback from their peers as well as the facilitator.

Participants must commit to attend all three days of the training program.
When? Dates: 13, 14 and 20 February 2016
Time: 9 AM - 5 PM
Location: Birmingham (Venue TBC)

Overnight accommodation will be provided on Sat 13 Feb if required.
