WHAT IS WHOLE BRAIN TEACHING (WBT)?
WBT is a learning technique that involves all areas
of the brain by using orderly fun.
WHY USE WBT?
“We know the behavior of challenging kids cannot be
improved by heavier and heavier doses of punishment.”
“We punish because we don’t know what else to do.”
“Most challenging kids genuinely want to be part of the classroom
environment; this is why they work so hard, and continually, to get
everyone’s attention.”
“If a student’s whole brain is involved in learning, there isn’t any
mental area left over for challenging behavior.”
“The longer we talk, the more students we lose.”
