What is Whole Brain?
Whole Brain Teaching is one of the fastest growing education reform movements.
Everything is free and can be accessed on www.wholebrainteaching.com
Objective Today, we will learn the basic 7 and
how to implement Whole Brain to increase engagement into your classroom.
Class-Yes
The attention grabber: Class – Yes
(The brain switch that readies students for instruction)
For maximum effect, occasionally vary your tone of voice.
Class—Yes
So your class has mastered Class-Yes?
Class- Boom Students respond with yes-boom and clasp
their hands together on the last boom
Class- something academic
teacher says class, 3 x9 boom Students say 27 boom
Whenever you want to make a big point,
totally focus your class, you say
“hands and eyes.”
Your class repeats “hands and eyes”, folds their hands and stares
at you.
Hands & Eyes
The Focuser . . . Hands and Eyes

The Motivator . . . The Scoreboard!
Never let the difference between smilies and frownies be larger than 3 points. If you reward too much, your students will lose motivation. If you punish too much, they will quit trying.
Use the “Mighty Oh Yeah” when students earn a point. Students clap their hands and say OH YEAH! When giving yourself a point, students use the “Mighty Groan”. Students shrug their shoulders and make a groan sound.
Here is a huge point.
The Scoreboard is fixed!
