Quickstart: Play Power Bears Level 1 AND Level 2 to Reduce Blurting

Blurting is one of the most universal problems in classrooms.  Even veteran WBT Teachers are not immune to blurting students.  That's why Rhonda and I sat down with Coach Chris Biffle to discuss how we can stop this pattern.  What a perfect time to bring this topic to the forefront... the beginning of the school year!

This is a great extension of the podcast series we just completed where we went through the 5 steps Coach laid out for us in his Quickstart book!  As you will hear in the podcast, those 5 steps are instrumental in curbing the blurting!  As Coach says, "For the system to work, you have to work the system."  Power Bears is a great game to play while working the system!

Keep sharing this podcast with all your educator friends and administrators!  Our goal is to bring you the most relevant content in real time to help you have the best Whole Brain Teaching year yet!

Quickstart: Bullseye Game

We're back with another episode of Whole Brain Teaching the Podcast!  This week, Rhonda and I sat down with Coach Chris Biffle to finish out his Quickstart Book with his chapter on the Bullseye Game.  Bullseye is one of WBT most powerful, classroom changing, relationship building games!  You definitely want to tuck this game in your back pocket and have it at the ready when needing to make even stronger connections with our most beloved rascals.

Rhonda and I want to wish all of you who have started or will be starting school in the near future the best school year yet!  We are here to help.  You are not alone in this journey! 

We will be back next week with another episode of Whole Brain Teaching the Podcast! Until then, please like, share, and follow us on your favorite podcast app!
