Whole Brain Teaching for Challenging Kids: 2nd Edition: (and the rest of your class, too!)

Best teacher PD book I’ve ever read. After 17 years of teaching WBT is transforming my classroom. I purchased a second copy for a student teacher in our building. Just buy the book!

Great way to manage children.

Every teacher should but this book! Whole Brain Teaching is something that really unifies the classroom and every student. Super excited to use Super Improver in my room next year!

So excited to implement this in the fall!

Buy this book, join their facebook group, get their free TPT goodies to print out, watch their videos, and listen to their podcasts! It will transform your classroom management, how deeply connected you are as a class, and teach you FUN ways to practice academics. It has transformed my teaching and I'm going on year 28 and feel I can do many more because of these methods. My favorite thing about the program is the continuous language development children get through continuous talk and conversation amongst themselves.

This book has me excited to begin another year in the classroom. I was tired of buying junk for my classroom treasure box, which didn't help my students improve their behavior. Whole Brain Teaching is worth the read, and the very best part is that ALL of the resources on TPT are FREE! I can't wait to implement the strategies in the book. I am most excited about using "Teach...OK!" so students can activate all the parts of their brains while learning. After you order your book, check out the Super Improvers Facebook page for questions and YouTube for training videos. They help visualize what you read in the book. Thank you, Coach, for writing a book that helped a frustrated and exhausted teacher to find joy again!

A few years ago I stumbled across the first edition of this book and read it within a day. I was hooked! After that day I went to the website and also joined the whole brain teaching Facebook groups to learn everything I could before school started that August. I've been using many of the whole brain teaching strategies since then but due to illness slacked off a little on commenting and posting in the Facebook groups but I still use it in my classroom since the students can help lead the classroom and make it easiest for me on days when I am not feeling my best. When I saw that there was going to be a second edition come out I knew I had to get it and ordered right away. This book like the first was so easy to read and full of helpful heads for the classroom. I also finished it in a day but highlighted much more that I want to remember to include this coming school year. I'm already passing my book on to some teachers in my school to read so that they too can get hooked on whole brain teaching!

Since discovering the strategies outlined in this book, I have completely transformed my philosophy of classroom management. After a year of challenging behaviors, "rascals," and lack of engagement, teaching can be a fun and rewarding experience again. Usually, teaching rules and procedures are tedious, and students' participation during lessons is limited to the same few students. However, by implementing thoroughly engaging and brain-based teaching methods created by Whole Brain Teaching, I am confident that the "student-powered" environment will increase student learning. With an investment of less than 20 dollars, I am optimistic that I can foster a positive and productive atmosphere in my classroom for both myself and my students.
