Summer reading....I really like what I've been hearing about "Whole Brain Teaching." Once again, a Pinterest stumble, but I really like the ideas that were posted and decided to go ahead and order the book. Well, I did try to find it locally, but it seems it's only available via Amazon.com in my neck of the woods. So, now I'm awaiting my book (hoping it's before next Wednesday, which is the estimated delivery date) and have downloaded most of the ebooks from the official site, as well as shared the idea with my teammates.
I'm gathering info and have started a new Pinterest board in case you're interested in looking at it as well! There are a lot of blogs out there about WBT, so it's nice to find that support and people to ask questions!
With my safari theme, this is what I've created so far:
Do you do Whole Brain Teaching in your room? How do you think it works? It seems very successful and very to the point! I also like the idea of the hand gestures and I'm always looking for ways to make learning fun! :)

I use the classroom rules and some of the management techniques from wbt. I really enjoyed watching the videos to see how it worked inside the classroom. I stumbled across it 4 years ago when I had a difficult class and needed new techniques! There are a lot of videos on youtube and joining the whole brain teaching website is free (www.wholebrainteaching.com). If you goggle power teaching, you may get some good hits as well (that's what Chris Biffle called it prior to wbt). Have fun!
