About Re Vera

Most K12 level schools focus on preparing students for the academic rigors of college life, but only a select few prepare students for living on their own. According to our boarding students, RE VERA does both. They report that the RE VERA boarding experience facilitates the transition to higher education, making students more independent, organized, self- confident, full of ethos and better prepared to make decisions on their own. Plus they arrive armed with better study habits than many of the day school counterparts they meet in college. 

Why Re Vera

Some think a good school means good test scores. If that's the case we're in fine shape as we take pride in Excellence. But at RE VERA Global Foundation School, we see much more in our students. We see the artist, the tutor, the techie and the scientist. The dancer the writer, the skater the swimmer and the diplomat. For every face on campus there's a singular story of accomplishment. And for most, that story starts at RE VERA.

Top Classroom Discipline Management Strategies

A good teacher knows how to manage classroom, implementing discipline and relating rules. But is it essential to learn discipline management strategies?

Yes! as an educator it is must that before entering your class you are well aware of all the techniques and strategies which are essential to create a successful disciplined classroom. Classroom management combined with an effective discipline plan is the key to help you see some important steps in dealing with discipline problems that may arise in your classroom. The best way to learn these strategies and technique is to consult or search for other teacher’s ideas.

Classroom management is a skill that is not only learned but practiced daily. These tips can help you cut down on discipline problems and leave you with fewer interruptions and disruptions. Perhaps the single most important aspect of teaching is classroom management. You can’t successfully teach your students if you are not in control.

Classroom discipline management strategies:

Don’t discipline an entire class for the misdeeds of a single student, or a group of students. For instance, often a teacher will hold an entire class after the dismissal bell rings to punish some general behavior. Part of the philosophy behind this action is that the entire class will bring the misbehaving students into compliance with the teacher’s wishes so that they can leave on time and not be late to their next class, lunch, etc. However, the students committing the disapproved actions may be beyond any coercion power the rest of the class may bring to bear. So the teacher’s actions of punishing the class may not bring the desired results. Instead the results may be mostly negative.

When an entire class is punished, there are at least four or five innocent students that grow in resentment for being punished for the guilt of someone else, perhaps some that they dislike and or fear. These students are then forced into a grouping with the others. Also there will be those in the class that go along with the strongest, or the most interesting, or amusing force in the classroom. Punishing the entire class brings all of these groups into alliance against the teacher.

1.) If a teacher will concentrate closely it will become apparent that there are usually one, two, or three students that lead out in behavior either positive or negative. Make a mental list of those who are leading in negative behavior. Discipline those students, not the entire class. Quickly removing a negative leader has an impressive effect on the others. [You may have to remove two or three students.]

2.) During this process the orderly students will support and approve, at least tacitly. The ‘middle group’ will go with whoever has the controls and power. The problem students will either submit or be removed from class. Usually, when one or two students are dealt with, the others see the reality of the situation and comply. Interestingly enough, I have seen some of the toughest students realize, after a discipline incident involving someone else early in the semester, that I had control of the class, and never cause any problems at all. It is as if they had lots of experience with using and receiving force and they understood where it was better than the others.

3.) In dealing with individual students I usually give someone three direct warnings regarding unacceptable behavior during a single class before I send them to the office. If the behavior stops, I still note the occurrences in the grade book [See: Keeping a Grade Book Record ] for future use. Now I don’t allow each student three warnings and I don’t allow an individual student three warnings each day. If the behavior stops within three warnings, then I usually choose some other way to deal with the behavior than send the student to the office.

Again, if the student will not stop the behavior after three instructions, send him to the office. Teachers cause themselves a great deal of problems by not sending such a student to the office and instead deciding to talk to them after class. The effect of non-action is that the student has decided the level of behavior in the classroom.

4.) For students who are not immediately removed, a conversation after class about the behavior and possible consequences is effective. Do not tell the student specifically what the consequences may be. Some may simply decide that they don’t mind those consequences. Let some questions or doubt remain in their minds. Also a phone call to a parent helps. If you tell the student that you are going to call, they may go home and tell their version of the story first and then it takes 15-20 minutes longer in conversation for the parent to realize that you are not the type of teacher that their child has reported you to be.

Howard Miller, Associate Professor of Education at Lincoln University (Jefferson City, Missouri) suggests 12 steps teachers can take at the beginning of the year to promote effective classroom management.

1. Develop a set of written expectations you can live with and enforce.
2. Be consistent. Be consistent. Be consistent.
3. Be patient with yourself and with your students.
4. Make parents your allies. Call early and often. Use the word "concerned." When communicating a concern, be specific and descriptive.
5. Don’t talk too much. Use the first 15 minutes of class for lectures or presentations, then get the kids working.
6. Break the class period into two or three different activities. Be sure each activity segues smoothly into the next.
7. Begin at the very beginning of each class period and end at the very end.
8. Don’t roll call. Take the roll with your seating chart while students are working.
9. Keep all students actively involved. For example, while a student does a presentation, involve the other students in evaluating it.
10. Discipline individual students quietly and privately. Never engage in a disciplinary conversation across the room.
11. Keep your sense of perspective and your sense of humor.
12. Know when to ask for help.

Teacher-recommended techniques for maintaining control:

• Establish eye contact.
• Move around the room and increase proximity to restless students.
• Send a silent signal.
• Give a quiet reminder.
• Re-direct a student’s attention.
• Begin a new activity.
• Offer a choice.
• Use humor.
• Provide positive reinforcement.
• Wait quietly until everyone is on task.
• Ask a directed question.
• And, when all else fails, try something else!

Creating a climate for learning is probably the most important — and most difficult — task a teacher faces, but it can be even more difficult for beginning teachers. As former U.S. Department of Education teacher-in-residence Mary Beth Blegan says, "Setting the classroom environment is key. For a new teacher that means pretending that you know what you’re doing."

Dress For Your Position

You have been working for a firm for years now.  You have been hardworking employee and a sticker to the company’s policies and regulations.  You never been late and you work overtime even on holidays when the need arises. But how come you keep getting overlooked for promotion.  Your best friend says your shrinking violet image needs a drastic makeover.  Your friend could be right. 

These are some tips from the Boardroom could be of help on how to dress for your position.

• Dress for your position.  You should always project an image of professionalism if you are a manager, even on casual days.  You should still try to dress better than the best-dressed expensive; you can get plenty of budget-friendly pieces.
• Bad odor alert.  According to research body odor is describe as that pungent odor that occurs when bacteria, which naturally thrives on the body, mixes with sweat from glands in your armpits.  Normally, your deodorant kills more of the bacterial before it combines with your sweat. However, if these supersensitive sweat glands become overactive due to increased stress, your brand may falter.  That can lead to bad odor (BO)  To see if another brands active ingredients works better for you, try switching antiperspirants.
• Keep your nails trimmed and clean.  File your nails in an oval or square shape.  Trim off any hangnails.  If you wear nail polish, stick to clear or soft shades.
• Closed-toed shoes still evoke the more professional image.  Don’t buy shoes that feel too tight and expect them to stretch to fit.  Your heel should fit comfortable in the shoe with a minimum amount of slipping.  The shoe should not ride up and down on your heel when you walked.  Heels should be one to two inches high.  Unless it is the norm, sneakers are inappropriate for office even on casual days.
• Hair grooming.  Your  hairstyle should draw attention to your face, not to cover or overpower it.  Hair is a badge of identity.  Your hair needs attention and care.  Flyaway hair makes you look haggard and unprofessional.  To keep hair in place even in the most stressful situations, invest in a good hairbrush and blow dryer.  If your hair falls past your shoulders, braid it or pin it back with a clip.  You may want to stick to shorter hairstyles if your hair is unruly.  Although we have individual hair preferences, there are certain rules of thumb-based on the shape and features of your face, the age, the texture and your lifestyle.  Consult with your hair stylist about the best style for your face shape.
• A suit with a skirt is a power suit.  Law and accounting firms are conservative you should stick to dark colors.  Black, navy and dark neutrals always work so consider the field you are in.
• Keep accessories minimal.  The pieces should match your face size and shape but should not overpower you.  Before you go to work check yourself in the mirror.  If the first thing, you notice is the glitter and not the face, you might want to wear another set of jewelry or remove some pieces.
• Makeup should be blended.  To even up your skin tone, use foundation. Pick a shade as close to your skin tone as possible and apply lightly.  According to skin experts, foundation is supposed to look like your skin. Your foundation is too heavy if you see streaks across the face.  Your foundation is the wrong shade if your face is a different color from your neck.  Pick a lipstick in a soft shade that matches tour skin’s undertone.
• Keep your breath fresh. Always have a breath mints in your bag for after lunch or coffee.  If you smoke, brush your teeth after.  Having bad breath is a sure way to turn people off.  

Planning what you wear is the only first step, but it goes a long way towards building a good corporate image.  You feel good about yourself when you like how you look.  When you exude confidence, people’s trust in you will follow.
