Whole Brain Teaching: 3rd Grade: Classroom Management

[cheygurl2010]

They didn't drink the fluoride, they swished with it and spit it out. I think this strategy is pretty bizzare, but come on people, overreact much?

[nicollbob]

Thank-you for sharing your teaching strategies. The students were obviously engaged, and they love learning which is what all teachers want.

what a stupid bitch. how to manage people w/o acting like this stupid bitch: MANHOOD101. COM

[MatthewChartersMac]

fluoride....Hitler is understatement. have your mind numbing drug kiddies before I tell you what is real.

[reitzw01]

Like the kid said, "I don't wanna try that again. NEVER!".

[reitzw01]

Grose - that's not education. The "silly voices" make me cringe. My husband is right that's discusting communist training like the Hitler Youth.

[trinitymike]

@reitzw01 "that's discusting communist training like the Hitler Youth'

the Hitler Youth were 'communist training"??? LOL@you, you addled-minded psychopath.....

[reitze01]

The Wave - replace the video number with this one: BVRXXbU-z7U

[reitze01]

That's discusting and wrong on so many levels. Go google "The Wave" you Nazis - even giving the kids poison fluoride - CRIMINAL GOVT SCHOOL and TEACHER.

[alyssahenley]

i watched some of these videos and incorporated some of the strategies into my middle school class. Pretty amazing stuff really. Think i'm going to fully implement next year :) i agree, its not for every day every min.,,, but great to introduce, reinforce, or enhance learning!

[motherHENderson]

Wow! So much fun, yet so much learning happening!! I remember "swishing" when I was a kid in elementary school, so this video also brought back some fun nostalgic memories.

[jbertle]

What a great example of a controlled class environment to show others. These kids are obviously having fun and learning in a high energy environment. I like the physical movements and the choral responses. My favorite part of the choral response is the "blow the answer in your hand" part. How fun! This type of teaching really gets me excited to have my own classroom, where I can be creative and have fun learning with the children.

[wolfunited]

Some really great strategies in play here.

Your use of full classroom choral response to rules and definitions in fun physical and vocal ways makes them more memorable. Also your way of choral answering questions is very unique and appealing. I'll have to try that. I have to say the most interesting is your attention getter. Using a vocal repeater where you dont need to raise your voice over them is very intriquing. The kids seem to really enjoy that atmostphere.

[HunterPlumb]

This is an amazing teacher. She is so animated and has complete control of this classroom. This is a perfect example of how to let your class have a good time and learn but still have everyone in check. The kids appreciate her very much and you can tell that just by this 7 minute video.

@woodlandsartgal individual needs

However, noted experts in differentiation Carol Ann Tomlinson, and David Sousa clearly agree that it is okay for all the kids in a class to be doing the same thing at the same time, as long as that is not all you are doing.

What you are seeing here would constitute a part of class period, but most WBT teachers do not do this for a whole class period, as you seem to be assuming.

[mcvanskike]

I like how the teacher is able to have fun and keep the students engaged. She does a great job at getting the student's attention by using a fun chant to get them refocused at the task on hand. She doesn't lose them after a fun activity, because even her transitions are fun for the students to do.

[philnoll]

@NCWBTeacher Its a euphemism for "the state is co-opting us to be used as part of their ungodly agenda"

[NCWBTeacher]

@philnoll

So, are you under the impression that the teacher in this video is a part of a government sponsored plot to promote a non-Christian agenda? Just trying to make sure I understand your point.

[NCWBTeacher]

@MichaelMoify

This is a really short segment of one class. The video is only meant to demonstrate how to get started using a small part of the tools and engagement possible with the method. Using silly voices, and especially employing gestures does allow any student to more easily create long term memories, a fact that is supported by research, and easy to discover with minimalk research.

[berryberrymuch]

@12jazz123456 I totally agree with u...I'm an English teacher and I found it pretty intersting and useful ...

[BarneNo07]

I would like to know where does she learn the behavior strategies?

Very interesting.

[SerenityDarling1]

Wow what control she has over her class

its amazing

I'm going to use that "class class" "yes yes"

thing when I start teaching :)

[oxrschool]

Great job! Kids look excited and engaged.

[nydiagonz]

That was a great example of interactive, multi-sensory learning. Thank you for sharing.

[pakarpis]

People learn in different ways called preferance modes of learning. Brain based learning is the key to teaching children. I think this is future of education.

This teacher is brillant too. I hope there is some way to pay teachers for all the work they do.

[walkjd3]

I am going to use the whiteboard idea. Thanks!

[abuhajara]

That is good. I love this interactivenss.

[teach20640]

Inspiring and moving to watch as a teacher.

Such possibilities!

[JLady590]

YEEEEAHHHH MS. SHINDLER!!!!!!! LOL!

[gypsyjiver83]

Fantastic stuff - it just goes to see what kids can do when they are engaged. If all classes could be this fun, there would be a lot less discipline problems in schools.

I am curious to see what the class is like when the teacher is not doing the kind of scripted classroom control stuff we see on the video. I want to know if the students like what they are learning, and are not just doing it to get rewards from the teacher.

[lisagogel]

This seems awesome! Does it cause behavior issues? Does it work for kids with behavior disorders or special needs? How do you deal with behavior problems?

[princessrock87]

WOW

that teacher is totally amazing!

[ChantaBrite]

That's great. I need to learn that!

[goowealth]

Great Teaching skills with creativity and fun, affirmative positive confirmations and best of all, moral values drills! Good Job!

[reitze01]

@goowealth The only "moral value" being taught is conformity. On musical steroids. Its not education its indoctrination - like the military system has made its way to grade shcool. HOME SCHOOL IF YOU LOVE YOUR CHILD. Watch "THE WAVE" if you don't get it yet. Otherwise your childs spirit will be killed - by the BUSHWACKED OBOMINATION.

[dcwarnow]

Excellent teaching strategies. The command taken is very controlled and I'm surprised at the complete willing participation of the kids.

And I love the call-and-response method. Especially the repetition. <3

[Noury123]

Wow I wish I was that creative!!! I'm sorry my lady but I'm gonna steal a few of your idea's!!! excellent teacher you are!! you and your student must be really happy!!!!

[andreaschindler]

That is sweet!!! But if stealing from teachers is a crime, then I would have been arrested already!!! I think that is the best way to get ideas!!! :)

[reitze01]

@andreaschindler sweet like giving them chocolate lunches. Are you f'ing blind to the harm being done there? Did you enjoy drinking your floride? It makes me sick watching that - and cry for my kid who whent through something similar. NFW #OccupyWallStreet is happening now.

[garethkinsella]

superb, how did she come up with all these creative ideas...?

[IrmaBundage]

Great! Should have gotten Rookie Teacher of the Year!
