What an amazing week it was in Bossier Parish as teachers went back to school to kick off the 2015-16 year, inspired and motivated by the founder of Whole Brain Teaching, Chris Biffle! Bossier Parish was blessed to have “Coach B.” come and share some of his amazing strategies with EVERY elementary teacher in the entire parish! #10fingerSIZZLINGwoo
If you have not ever discovered the power of Whole Brain Teaching, I STRONGLY encourage you to do yourself the BIGGEST favor you will ever do for YOU, and check it out! I had the privilege {after being placed on a waiting list} of being accepted to attend the Whole Brain Teaching National Conference in Pineville, Louisiana in June 2014. That summer truly changed my mindset, my classroom, and replaced that fire and passion for teaching as if it was my first year again. I experienced student growth like nothing I had ever experienced before. My students LOVED coming to school EVERYDAY! On the last day of school before the summer break, I had never seen more tears {from boys and girls} simply because my students did not want to leave my 2nd grade classroom.
As teachers we are faced with more and more challenging students everyday…poverty stricken, abused, foster children, mentally ill, depressed, ADHD, broken homes, neglect, etc. and the list goes on, and despite the things we cannot control, praise God for the things we can control…especially in our classrooms! This book right here offers resolutions for teachers to control the uncontrollable! A link is provided below the book if you would like to seek more information.
I was honored by being selected by Coach B. to serve as one of his 2014-15 Whole Brain Teaching interns during the national conference. I accepted the offer (with 18 years of experience…just to let you know how long it has been since I was a student), because I decided that I had to do something in order to sustain my sanity before retirement. After returning home from the conference last summer (2014), I immediately began summarizing all three days of the conference and made my intern class an easily accessible reference guide with the help of Coach B. and some members of his executive board that proofread and approved my summary notes. You can download a free copy of these notes from my Teachers Pay Teachers Store if interested! I also have many other Whole Brain Teaching Products available in my shop too. (You may notice that some products have a charge…these are products that were custom made for teachers upon request to coordinate with their classroom.) Any other basic informational product that is not a custom product is FREE!!!
