Whole Brain Teaching

by A NJ Second Grade Teacher

Sep 1, 2012

I want to get started with whole brain teaching in my classroom. I need to know how to get started. I've looked at a couple of videos on youtube but have had difficulty with the whole brain teaching website. How would you suggest a newbie get started? Do you have a suggested schedule to introduce the 5 rules? Any and all suggestions are welcomed.
