Whole Brain Teaching: 122 Amazing Games!: Challenging kids, classroom management, writing, reading, math, Common Core/State tests

Excellent follow-up book to Whole Brain Teaching for Challenging Kids. This book expands on the practice of Whole Brain Teaching with additional techniques. It's the best thing I've found in more than twenty-five years of teaching!

Excellent book packed with useful ideas to make your teaching easier. WBT is awesome!

great!!

I LOVE Whole Brain Teaching and fully recommend it to anyone who hasn't explored it. This book's title, however, is misleading. "Games" is used in a very loose definition of the term - there are not 122 "games" in this book. This book takes the tenets and procedures of Whole Brain Teaching and spells each out individually, several in great detail; it is an excellent companion to the other book, Whole Brain Teaching for Challenging Kids. If, however, you're expecting to pick up this book to find a treasure-trove of 122 games to apply to your classroom, you may be disappointed. There are several games, but most items presented as games are procedures or teaching techniques.

Whether you've read the first book or not, you must have this book! It is bursting full of games that are linked to direct interactive instruction (DUI) and collaborative learning! I've been teaching this way for the past 3 years and I have to say that I've never had such high student engagement...and we are all learning and laughing along the way. Do you know what a Triple Whammy is? Superspeed Reading and Math? Super Improver Team? Diamond Rule? Mind Soccer? Brainies? Well, "it's cool" because you can find out how all of these will help get you to Teacher Heaven. This book isn't drowned in theory, it's all practical and ready to use in your class the next time you see your students. Get this book! You won't regret it.
