  • OK this is so different to the teaching in the UK. Yes the class are FANTASTICALLY engaged and talk partners are used well but there is not a single point in the lesson where the children get to contribute to the class - she answers all her own questions! Definitely things to learn from this (re. keeping the children engaged and fast pacing) but how does she know all the children have learnt the lesson, because I'm a bit lost with all the chanting and being excited about stuff!

  • Its great that she has the kids very engaged in whats being taught though it is social and fun it can lack with some kids just saying whatever because they all seem to be yelling what they are being learnt though we dont know if all students are repeating the right thing

  • Omg

  • lame

    

  • Class participation: AWESOME!

    Treating everyone equally like robots: TERRIBLE!

  • give a big hand for teacher like this

  • I hope this teacher does vary in her teaching methods. This is a very well-organised, enganging teaching method. I also must agree with the opinion that this method is too audio-lingually. This can become very repetitive for the students.

  • good god they're trained like dogs. If my school were like that I wouldn't be able to access my creative side. Fuck I can't stand watching this order. Hasn't this teacher ever heard of extending the identity of the individual? it's unfair of her to subjugate her students to such an orderly way of learning. School should be made of feeling and emotion, not chalk and graphite.

  • Despite all the negative comments, not only is Whole Brain Teaching a great teaching and classroom management method, it is also highly praised by administrators. I have also seen great test scores in classrooms whose teachers use this method. If my administrator was observing me, she would be thrilled to see 100% student engagement. I leave work happy, students leave happy and wanting to learn more the next day. We have a win win situation in my classroom.

  • CREEEEEPY ......

  • Actually, I do this all the time with my class and learned this from my experience in the military with repeating, sounding off, routines, acronyms, etc...

    Semper Fi!!!

  • @MondoBeno Your room is what you make it. I teach in a Title 1 school 100% Free lunch that is now in level 5, 0% parental involvement. All my students have special needs because they are 6th graders. We get 1 day to set up our rooms before school starts. What this video shows me is that she works Saturdays and doesn't wine about it. She has set the standard from the beginning and modeled modeled modeled.

  • @Butterfryby The best class I ever had, I was given 1 day to prepare, and boy did I prepare! I took the roster, made a seating chart, and when the kids came in, they didn't have to worry about finding a seat because that was decided for them. The rules were on the wall, and our first lesson was just that; rules and why we have them.

    I had other classes where the kids' schedules were changed constantly in the first month, so they ended up starting late no matter what, among other things.

  • i do this in math class :O

  • I would never want my children in this kind of classroom.

  • thank God im Greek, and the funny thing is my mother always told me how laim is the education in Greece cause she is Australian hehe... im becoming a mathematician, i will think about using this teaching method to kids with special needs! please, treat kids like regular students...

  • i lerned  this in 3grade

  • @kiDkiDkiD12 You spell like a 1st grader.

  • I learnt this last year. Great job! However, as a student, I wouldn't like to do the gestures and teach the neighbors for every lesson.

  • i cannot belive that there is someone teaching this way out there.....i can't say that this is a good teaching technique in my opinion. it's way too high strung. what are these kids going to retain from doing this? it'll go in one ear and out the other....maybe im crazy, but if i was taught like this (army style) then i would probably leave...THIS IS ONLY MY OPINION, DON'T JUMP ON MY BACK.

  • There are several kids teaching to peoples backs, is that what is supposed to happen. Seems a little redundant to me.

  • Man Im Going To 6th Grade In 2 More Weeks And I Forgot Some Of My Math In 5th

  • This is fantastic! This is what my 6th graders lessons are on tomorrow and I will use this method.

  • This is a lame teaching technique, I can't believe things like this is happening in USA. May be this is the very reason schools are so unpopular among young children in USA. No wonder the number of dropouts in USA is growing. The Parents, politicians should see this and take actions to help young children to bloom. Spoon feeding block thinking, provocation opens minds. Do not underestimate the intelligence and creativity of the young. You are creating followers not leaders.

  • orrrrrrrsum! i fee like going back to school ..

  • well i learned everything about Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally in 5th grade but still this was nice! good job to class n the teacher :)

  • fascinating practice: she keeps them busy so much that they have no chance to disrupt the class; i wonder how long does it take to condition kids to use this

  • wtf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!! ROFL

    

  • I wish she was going to be my teacher.

  • I don't teach math, but I do teach and this is amazing. If every class was like this America would be behind many other countries.

  • haha 2:43 class with a sqeeky voice student: 2:45 yeeees with a squeeky voice

  • the camera changes EVERYTHING

  • Despite the other negative comments, I must say, this was an awesome math lesson! I believe these students will never forget order of operations. Last but not least, AWESOME job reaching the kinesthetic learner- the one who is always identified as at-risk.

  • I wouldn't like to have that teacher. This took too long to learn and would have been boring after a while. "Tell your neighbor" would have got too stupid after a while. "USE GESTURES!" We learned tjis within 2mins max

  • @proproateverything i learned tht in 2nd

  • AMERICANS -- PUKE

  • i learned please excuse my dear aunt sally in 3rd grade

  • I've been thru the training. If you try this yourself, you'd be surprised. By focusing on the other guy's delivery while trying to say it yourself, you incorporate it into your brain. Kids who cannot remember in words suddenly can when they do motions. It's all about engagement. You have to be a certain kind of teacher to do the delivery like her. We have to make it more entertaining or they distract themselves.

  • Positive reinforcement methods are great if it works but has anyone had success with inner city students employing this method?

  • Repeating back what the teacher says is not necessarily learning. If this were repeated every day, would the students really have an understanding of all the concepts? Not sure...

  • Isn't this a bit too audio-lingual? Teaching shouldn't be about drilling

  • woah thats creepy!!!

  • My math teacher says she was sad to see me after spring break and she says that every weekend she mean everyone laughs !!!!!

  • YES DRILL SERGEANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • "Please excuse my dear Aunt Sally." Oh geez, the memories /that/ brings back! I understood it well enough... but I still sucked at math. XD

  • This is a good way of teaching but the bad part of this incredible way of getting their attention is to focus teaching on rewards. If u notice the teacher rewarding them for good maners at 6:12 it reminds me of army and its kind of a way for the teacher to seperate herself and the students, as in shes better than them

  • This reminds me of Marine Corps bootcamp.

  • This is great for learning those concepts that should be attained and developed for automaticity. Those are the most difficult...and sometimes the most boring to teach and learn.

    To Every Tongue below....This is MANAGEMENT. True, it's not higher order thinking at this level, but it's order of operations. And these kiddos will know that. Probably better than the class next door using traditional teaching methods.

  • Whoa ! She is an EXCELLENT teacher ! her class shows much respect and seemed to enjoy the lesson !

  • Notice how her room is big, clean, and well-maintained. Next, note the students; they appear well cared for, well fed, and there's an equal mix of all races.

    These kids are probably enthusiastic because their school building is luxurious, and the parents are well-involved.

    I can tell that everything was in place before the teacher was assigned.

    In a classroom that is run-down, with kids whose parents don't give a damn, things would be worse.

  • @MondoBeno - I don't agree with this at all. I taught kindergarten in a school where 90% of the students were eligible for free lunch (so impoverished), 97% of the students were minority (I had no Caucasian children in my class at all) - in Texas, so many of the children don't have English as their primary language - and used many of these techniques successfully in my classroom. You teach them what you want them to do and they do it. You teach with energy and passion and they are invested.

  • @MondoBeno - Also if her school were that posh, would she really have 30 kids in her class? Charter schools and private schools try to keep their class size between fifteen and twenty.

  • @MondoBeno

    Sounds right on the mark, but alas, it has nothing to do with the school building, the parents, the socioeconomic level, the race, the class, nothing like that, Mondo. It's the teacher!!!

  • @MondoBeno Way to give the teacher credit where it is due. My inner city students are just as enthusiastic about their education despite parent involvement being less than stellar. My room is clean, organized and well-maintained. It is to their benefit at all times, not my own.

  • I would have been that one kid who did nothing and pissed her off

  • that is absolutely terrific!!!

  • WOW. ITS SO GREAT. I wanna be as good as this teacher n the future.. ^^

  • This is programming, this would not be useful. They would be fit for army duty, conflict and war when they are older.

  • my god, the noise in this room

  • Excellent !! get the students involved in the learning process, that is the key !! keep it up !

  • my 6th graders are nowehere near that enthusiastic... they're mainly concerned about not doing anything, mocking, putting others down, and complaining in general. probably only 4 kids in my class would be engaged with this... the rest would laugh at them.. hmmph..

  • I am sending my students to her--she is gonna quit!

  • So this is a commercial, right?

  • I find this so creepy. I'm not convinced that PEMDAS is even worth learning. It's needed only if the math expression is set down in an illegal way to start with, for example: 4 x 6 +3 - 9.

    That's like writing a word backward. We don't do it that way. Eerga?

    I saw a long piece on this topic on an education site and concluded that it was a great example of make-work. Another clever way to waste time not teaching what needs to be taught.

  • Errr Im in 7th grade. This is SOO stupid i learned PEMDAS in juss 4th grade.

  • If you teaches my 6 th grade class u would be back talked alot everyone would think you were jokeing sooo good luck in life

  • @skyelovefred don't knock it until you try, I was hesitant too

  • I wish my middle school was like this :(

  • I'm gonna be using this when I start teaching. This is an AMAZING way to teach a class.

  • Don't mean to be rude,but are they learning it JUST at sixth grade?

  • @nasbster915 - Also - think of this method in the context of Reading and Social Studies. Breaking lessons into mini-lessons, and then having children re-teach concepts is a research-based method of comprehension. I don't get the hate.

  • @nasbster915 - brainwashed? No critical thinking? Power teaching promotes students teaching each other, and uses research-based methods to engage students. It actually promotes collaborative learning, which promotes "brainwashing" way less than lecture focused methods. I work with 6th graders, and I don't understand how anyone could not see the benefits of these methods. My kids freaking love power teaching! Are you a teacher?

  • This teacher as total engagement. She moves around the classroom, she has the students clap and say things as a whole class. She incorperates all types of learning. Also by having the class participate the way they do she can check very quickly of participation. These kids are having fun and learning.

  • Oh wow! I am blown away! This teacher uses so many successful strategies: movement, teaching others, emotional connections (ie excitement), and procedures. These kids were engaged and held accountable for that engagement. At first, I was a little uncertain how I would feel about the video but the more I watched, the more intrigued I became. To have a whole class participating like this is incredible! Well done! I am excited to try some of these techniques!

  • As a Future teacher, I really like this power teaching method! The kids are fully engaged and paying attention! Teaching each other is a great way to memorize information which is very important in Math. The teacher has the kids interested and they are having fun while the class is under control. Keeping them on task is huge, the teacher is constantly moving too which I believe is very important!

  • Someone told me about Power Teaching, so I started watching these videos and am now using it in my 6th grade classes. I'm having SO much fun with this! The kids like it, too. I use in in the beginning for our Do Nows and in direct teaching. Other teaching goes on, too. Students ask questions and work in groups, etc. Power Teaching works wonders in getting the class's attention. The point system works! I've never had so much fun, and I've been teaching a LOOOOOONG time. :)

  • surely there is a place for teaching students how to memorize and teach how to memorize, while they are learning even if its below the human potential, as the Israelis' capabilities the naysayers speak of. Naysayers, why not direct us to how to raise the level with similar video clips from the israeli classroom, otherwise, you are not being useful. i live with Israelis and they are very practical, so if you wish to be less hypocritical, be practical and direct us.

  • @Justicia656

    I would reject the idea that his is dumb. What you are seeing is remembering- and that is the basis of learning, at least in the first stages. Until the kids understand the basic concepts, a common language for what they are to learn, learning cannot progress further, or to higher order thinking skills.

    You have to remember that part of what the teacher is doing is making a video that will demonstrate the method to teachers who teach at many levels, not just middle school.

  • hi miss parkinson!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

  • Wow! What an incredible teaching strategy! I love how she incorporates movement, repetition and peer teaching! The kids seem completely engaged! I wonder how long it took her to ingrain all those participation procedures like, "Gestures," "Teach," and immediate response of "Yes" to her verbal cue, "Class?" I will definitely be contacting Power Teaching to see if I can go to a seminar or workshop. I wonder if every math lesson can be that exciting? If so, the kids would remember way more math!

  • @ckvorst Hitlers teachings where the same as this only no collored kids where there

    she has a power lust syndrom or how i like to call it

    the napoleon syndom a little man what things he could take down the world

  • @ckvorst this is not a teaching strategy, but a memorization strategy. The children have memorized the procedure of PEMDAS, but have not answered the question of why.

  • @ckvorst That is the most obvious and transparent attempt at advertising beneath the veil of satisfied and impressed consumer/user/expert that I have seen for some time. How much does the company pay you to spread this vulgar bile? Your future in advertising/public relations/propaganda is limited; grab a broom and do something productive.

  • Fantastic!! And the class management... awesome!!

  • OMG! My Latin class needs this! In Latin all people do is talk and talk and disrupts the teacher sometimes.

  • wow. that is amazing. i have never seen something like that, all kids are working and not just sitting around and listening!

  • Comment removed

  • I was able to sit in a classroom and watch this teaching method for a full day. Wow...I was blown away at the excitement in the room. 98% of the kids were on task and learning at all times, very very few behavior issues, and it was a fun environment that moved constantly! I'd take this style over the old styles anyday!!

  • Lol. That's all that's needed to review this lesson.

  • we are doing this in school, im in 8th grade, we get to choose our sayings, everytime out teacher gets a point, we say: "Oh no she didnt" and everytime we get a point, we get to stand up and say "shake and back" while doing a weird little dance lol its really fun and im glad we are starting this, but the 4th graders are better than us! LOL

  • @inezzitah9

    Inez, what are you making a comment concerning? Do you have a question?

  • @nasbster915 personal attack, Ivy league?

    If you attack a teacher's methods in the fashion you did then you are attacking that teacher. Regardless of how you intended that, telling someone they should leave a profession is a personal attack

    Next, I would defy you to find more than a handful of teachers outside of the NorthEast, and therefore local to these schools, who can claim to have sent even a handful of students, regardless of ethnicity to any of these schools...

  • @Ososweetz2010

    Do you have an actual comment? If so please post coherently in English.

  • @NCWBTeacher first off, this comment doesn't excuse your earlier comment in which you claimed that kids will "extrapolate" the order of operations from being exposed to different types of problems. This last comment you made just concedes the points that kids are being forced to "rote" memorize the orders of operations in this class and that they aren't developing critical thinking skills. Thanks for the lit sources but i know what the words "common vocabulary" mean

  • @nasbster915 earlier comment

    I was not attempting to excuse my earlier comment, only explain it more clearly. I am not sure what your complaint is here. In any leaning endeavor in which a teacher expects students to acheive higher order thinking skills, critical analysis, synthesis, evaluation, or any others, the students must first learn the most basic information. Everyone learns the alphabet by rote, but every great novel is a result of this original rote learning. What is your point?

  • wth is goin on here? goodness gracious!

  • pemdas lol

  • lol i know im a loser here but...Going to 6th grade =]

  • @ZTindustries IM ALREADY IN 6TH GRADE

  • i'd like to see this happen in reality!

  • I learned this in 3rd grade. >.>

  • i learned this in the 5th grade!

  • wouldn't it make more sense to put up an equation, have students answer it, compare answers and discover why they got different answers. Out of this comes learning the correct order of operations. If you simply tell them, then they are not learning.

  • @MichaelMoify part 1

    Not necessarily. If you let the students discover the order of operations you are certain to have several who discover it incorrectly. As Rick Wormeli says, practice does not make perfect, but it does make permanent. Once they have confidently discovered the order incorrectly it will take quite a while to re teach them the correct order.

    If you teach them the order of operations they are, in fact, learning.

  • @NCWBTeacher in you're second to last comment, you assume that just because kids might "incorrectly discover" the order of operations (whatever that means), they'll necessarily internalize the "incorrect" way of going about solutions. But i don't get it? If a teacher were competent, wouldn't they be able to identify the logical flaws in the child's thought process and facilitate their resolution? Why assume the kids will necessarily practice math "the wrong way" without intervention?

  • @nasbster915

    "Why assume the kids will practice the wrong way?"

    Experience. When the kids are beginning to learn Order of Ops several mistaken assumptions can be made by learners without being obvious in initial simple equations.

    A competent teacher can certainly identify the flaws in the student's approach, and a WBT teacher will be able to do so much faster with an engaged interactive learner than a traditional teacher will who would have to read through a number of papers to catch it.

  • @NCWBTeacher yeah...and you're still assuming that the "unlearning" process will be necessarily traumatic...and any entry level teacher with a background in formal logic/mathematics would be able to identify those flaws immediately. idk maybe you just have a lot of experience dealing with unqualified teachers, but aside from some anecdotal experiences you can share, do you really have any hard empirical evidence (i'm talking studies with statistically acceptable sample sizes) to back your claims

  • @nasbster915 unlearning trauma

    See Thorndike's work on the Law of Primacy, so widely vetted, and accepted it is even an integral part of the US Navy's training manual, as well as a foundation for many theories in educaction.

    Further look into Herman Ebbinghaus' ideas on Serial Position Effect, check out William Crano, particularly the "attention decrement hypothesis".

    Benjamin Bloom- Learners must acquire basic knowledge in the lower cognitive levels before higher order thinking is possible.

  • @MichaelMoify part 2

    Rote is still learning, just at a lower level. The real power of the learning comes as they learn to accurately apply the order of operations to a succession of different, more complex equations. That is the purpose of the lesson. Teach the very basics so that everyone understand them, then extend the learning to higher order so that they must learn to evaluate, and apply what they have learned to new situations.

  • These classrooms look exhausting!

  • @ckapet

    Not really. Remember that you are seeing a short segment of class. You do not do this every minute of class. It can be tiring, but it is not the mentally exhausted, frustrated, beat down feeling a lot of teachers have at the end of the day. Instead I feel like I have accomplished a lot, ans my students have had fun and learned a lot. Honestly it feels more like you have had a mild workout. It is not exhausting.

  • Shouldn't students discover the order of operations. For example, you would give them various questions to do, compare answers, discuss and discover the order of operations. This teacher is simply just getting students to memorize. That doesn't mean they will "understand" She is teaching but are they "learning"?

  • @MichaelMoify

    It is very easy for students to "discover" the order of operations incorrectly. When that happens, especially for students that are not good at math, the process of "unlearning" their discovery is traumatic, and may badly impair their understanding of mathematics.

    It is more effective to teach the students the correct order of opertions, and then expose them to a wide variety of types of equations that require them to correctly apply, and extrapolate the operations needed.

  • @NCWBTeacher ....ok so let me get this straight: get kids to memorize the order of operations by explicitly telling them what they are, while using clapping to hold their attention. Then, get kids to "extrapolate" the operations by exposing them to problems that require the operations to be followed...if this is what you mean, then how are kids "extrapolating" anything? It seems that they'd just be mechanically abiding by the rules they explicitly learned in the first place...contradication=fail

  • @nasbster915 let me get this straight...

    They are extrapolating the application of the order of operations in variety of different problems when you give them increasingly complex layered problems that are different in structure than those you started them on.

    I am curious, are you actually a teacher? I only ask because most teachers get that right away. It is neither a contradiction nor a failure just because you did not understand the concept of layering the complexity of equations.

  • @nasbster915 let me get this...part II

    For example, if you start them on equations like this:

    4 x 2 +3 - 1 +6/3 =

    And you move on to equations like this:

    3(4+6)/3+6(7 x 5-4) - 4 x 2(4 +3)/7 =

    you have layered the complexity of the equations so that they must now extrapolate the proper order for solution based on the rules they have previously learned.

    Is that more clear?

  • @RaoYiLan

    Again, limited video intended to demonstrate a technique intended for an audience of teachers. By sixth grade the kids are already familiar with the reasons behind order of operations. This is a useful revisiting of a necessary skill, and is intended in part to show that anything can be taught using the same method.

  • i am pumped to have my own classroom one day!!!!

  • Here's another question: in an expression like 6 - 4 + 2, does it matter whether we do addition or subtraction first? In an expression like 6 * 4 / 2, does it matter whether we do multiplication or division first?

  • @RaoYiLan On the problem

    It does matter in that students learn the order of operations witha facility equivalent to that of an adept reader with sigth recognition words. Learning the order of operations in the proper order insures that a student can correctly apply that steps as equations become increasingly complex over time.

  • her aunt sally is a deer

  • Is this training or teaching?  I'd like to see assessment correlations.

  • @richkorb

    Definitely teaching! Retention using these methods is very high! Best of all, the method is as flexible as you want or need it to be. It is limited only be your own imagination.

    Work is underway to collect information on assessment corelations in several states.

  • @fishpingle

    In what way is using pedagogically sound, reseearch backed, and classroom vetted methods "bonkers". When you do not understand something it is always wiser to begin by asking questions rather than passing judgement based on erroneous assumption.

    Do you have a question?

  • @nounamorm

    What exactly is your complaint? Is it that they are learning order of operations using four cortices of their brains, making the memories created easier to access, and pushing the memories more quickly from short terms to long term? Is it simply because you are not certain about what they are doing and have a geniune question? They are being taught in a fashion that makes it easier to remember information many students, and adults struggle with.

    If you have a question simply ask.

  • this is excellent. I love this teacher. Great job.

  • No behavior problems! gimme a Hallelujah!

  • try that in college. hahahaaha!

  • she is treating them like little kindergardeners...

  • @michigangirlforever

    Actually, no. Recall that many of the things you learned in younger grades you still recall today. Research has shown that many of those methods have more merit for life long learning than previously thought. Some of the methods you see her using may remind you of what you saw at an earlier age, but the approach and the content are very different, and a great deal more advanced.

  • I like it! They are totally focused and retaining the information.

  • It is very easy to use and implement on your class. It is so awesome!! I love using and my kiddos love it too!!!

  • wow! OMG! That teacher has very best behaving students I have ever seened!

  • This is wild! :o)

  • she's amazing...I wish I could be like her one day...

  • Great Teacher!

  • i wish my skool was this much fun :P

  • I lovethis method. and i cant wait to teach it. it will keep the kids interested as well as me.

  • Engaged,alert and learning! Yay. Active learners benefit greatly.

  • I missed using this teaching technique. I was teaching like her way back then when I was still teaching in the Philippines. Now, I'm teaching here in Thailand.I teach Math in a boring way... lecture method...

  • wowmy whole 6th grade class was terrible

  • Hmmmmm.....there is no camera in MY classroom. I have always tried to be positive, but this method has definitely increased my rapport with my students. Children learn more when they are having fun. It has to do with the amygdala and how things are stored in long term memory.

  • Oh!! this way to teach is awesome!! I like it. Besides, I noticed that nobody is left out. All students participated in the activity. That is good ^____^

  • order of operations!!

  • GOD BLESS YOU!

  • awesome.

  • The gesture technique is awesome. But I would also suggest a visual on the whiteboard or on poster paper that backs the gestures up.

  • this method seems like it has potential

  • great engagement, repetition, and interacting with peers. love it!

  • It may appear to you that they are "yelling" and not teaching. But if you spent a few minutes in the average classroom, you would realize that most children find conventional school boring and drudgery. These children rare excited about learning! Believe it or not, children LOVE structure, they enjoy talking (and this allows that in a way that helps them learn. The method is very positive and full of fun.

  • wow, this is great!

  • I agree her enthusiasm is great. She has taught the students a routine that is very effective for letting them discuss and asking the class for their attention back. This must have taken at least a month or 2 of training before they were at this level. Very impressive. I know that having students talk about a concept or directions given after I say it is very effective and to have students repeat it back in lecture is sound pedagogy.

  • On weekends I speak to groups of Indonesian teacher, groups up to 500 at a time...and this is what I teach them...whole brain teaching. Basically I teach them class-yes and teach-ok. I have had so many thank yous via email from teachers throughut Java were I have spoken. I have been in teaching for over 30 years and thought I had seen everything. Whole brain teaching was like a breath of fresh air. Thanks Chris and Co.

  • amazing

  • whoa that class is better than my old class

  • I love this and I'm going to a conference on power teaching. I am looking forward to implementing this in my classroom! THANKS CHRIS.

  • in my school, we use

    PEMDAS.

    lol.

  • Wow, those kids really listen. I hope when I start teaching that my classroom is as amazing as this.

  • I've never seen this approach!!! This is amazing.I am so trying this in my own classroom!

  • I implemented a few of the Power Teaching ideas in my high school history class, and it worked PHENOMENALLY. I'm going to be spending the remainder of the summer re-working my notes and lessons to accomodate it's principles. I love it, and it was REALLY effective.

  • this seem more interesting than when i was in 6th grade. . She talk better than normal lecture. with pauses i guess.

  • If it works iit works.  But she just comes across as a great teacher and that makes for great students. Its her enthusiasm thats amazing not so much the method

  • She's a good teacher i know her she teaches at my mom's school. However i don't like the system that much.

  • That's looks fun...FUN in math, wow, where was this when I was in High School, lol!

  • amazing!

  • Fabulous!

  • I love it, love it, love it!!!!

  • I teach ESL students in high school and this would be interesting to use with my students who are learning to speak English

  • this works with maths would it work with literature?

  • Woah!!!! You should teach our class how to behave like this!!!!!

  • wish my class was dat behaved........

  • I use power teaching in the UK all the time, even with Year 11's - they love it and so do I - try it!!

  • Incredible....Still crying!
