Creating a positive school culture goes beyond setting rules. Tes’ Class Charts helps schools across the GCC recognise positive behaviour, strengthen communication and build more connected learning communities 

Dubai, June 10, 2026: Schools across the region are embedding tools that develop positive classroom cultures which have been recognised for their ability to transform students to be more confident, positive and help learning environments where engagement and belonging can thrive.  

In the most effective classrooms, students understand what matters, especially when schools prioritise kindness, contribution and progress. Schools, therefore, need to build a culture where positive behaviour is noticed consistently enough that it becomes the strongest influence in the room.

The challenge for schools, however, is not just understanding the importance of positive recognition. Most educators already believe in celebrating effort and progress. The real challenge according to Tes, which has been training teachers and educators across the region and worldwide, is consistency in recognising and celebrating those positive behaviours.

Tes has created the Positive Behaviour Culture handbook, a practical guide specifically designed for school leaders and teachers, which explores simple, evidence-informed strategies which they can use to recognise positive behaviour more consistently and build stronger classroom culture over time.

The handbook includes practical, classroom-ready techniques, research-informed insights into positive recognition, real examples schools can adapt to their own context and printable resources to support positive behaviour culture

And for schools looking to make positive recognition easier to sustain at scale, Tes Class Charts can help bring these approaches to life through consistent behaviour recognition, reward systems, communication and visibility across the school community.

Whether supporting a single classroom, a year group or a whole-school strategy, the handbook is designed to help school leaders, inclusion and SEN leaders and IT decision-makers across strengthen positive behaviour culture in a sustainable way.
