Whole Brain Teaching - Middle School.wmv

This video of Sean Kavanaugh shows the introduction of class-yes, the 5 rules, and teach-okay for a Denver 8th grade science class. The students were not coached prior to the video and did not practice. This is WBT in its most raw, inner city form. For 1000s of pages of free downloads go to WholeBrainTeaching.com

I liked this video because it showed the introduction of WBT basics to an un-prepared class.

So glad I could see WBT at the beginning stages! The videos I've been watching are all of classes that have learned and know how to do these steps. Love to see it being taught! Thank you!

Its not brain washing. It's training. Inner city students come from broken homes; therefore, they have a lot of resentment/anxiety concerning adults. This whole brain teaching is great stuff bcuz it trains them in a high-energy fashion engaging multiple intelligence--namely physical, visual, and audio. Sean is a beast and thanks to ChrisBiffle for sharing. I cant believe this information has been available for 2 yrs and I'm just hearing about it.

Great job Mr. Kavanaugh. My hat's off to you for putting up with all those attitudes in Middle School. You are doing well, getting them motivated and providing structure using WBT.

This is awesome! Thank you so much for sharing. I'd love to see more videos like this - one for each grade level would be fantastic!

I am gradually implementing WBT. I wonder if Mr. Kavanaugh is still using this method and how the kids have responded long term.

This looks highly engaging and energetic.

I get so excited when I see something like this!!! I love brain-based teaching methods!!! :o)

[@jake5ray]

Kudos Mr. Kavanaugh...I'm gathering info on WBT and thinking about implementing it.

Beautiful presentation -- excellent!

[@latonyadavenport439]

If your kids are running over you, you should consider a different profession...before you can teach them anything, you must have a semblance of control--Whole Brain provides a foundation on which teachers can build exciting and energetic lessons. I've used the techniques for about five years and have NO complaints! It works really well with the youth of today! As a 23 year veteran educator--that's saying a lot!!

Beautiful. Thank you!

[@ericarocker2228]

This is awesome. So engaging

[@katerinesantana6060]

I feel like this doesn't come natural to me. I have never experimented this in a classroom.

[@HarveyZuckerman]

Great work! I'll be starting WBT at my middle school in Mt. Vernon, NY - demographics very similar to yours.

[@pekinoodles]
