This is a great starting point to elicit other responses from teachers who have experience with "Whole Brain Teaching." It would be interesting to see what others have to say about this method. Good Luck! 10/10.
HI Lily, I really like the fact that you have a video on your blog so we can see how the concept works. My only suggestion is to double check the spelling before you post something: techning = teaching
Lily, that was fascinating. I agree with Christie, the video was an effective means of demonstrating classroom practice--especially to those of us who are not teachers. The gesturing strikes me as a cross between "Total Physical Response" for ELL students and sign-language. I was wondering if using an "official" sign-language, such as ASL had ever been considered. It would be a great way to facilitate communication between members of the hearing/non-hearing communities. It could standardize gesturing, but it might also inhibit creativity--any thoughts on the matter?
Sorry I forgot to rate your blog in my previous post. It's a 10/10 because you managed to get me thinking about teaching in a different way. I never realized modeling could be so overt and potent.
Hi Lily, I currently teach middle school and even sometimes I try using hand signals in my class. Watching The video and reading your blog made me think of when I taught kindergarten. I wish I had used "whole brain teaching" in my kindergarten glass. Thank you for posting this strategy, I will definitely use it if I ever teach primary grades and will try to sneak some in with my 8th graders. 10/10 great job!
