TOPIC: So excited to be here!

So excited to be here! 2 years, 9 months ago #1747

Hi everyone!

I just stumbled into this sight because I found some clips of great teaching techniques on youtube.com

I can't believe this is free! I had never heard of power teaching or whole brain teaching before. No one in my area is doing this, at least I'm not aware of it. I can't wait for teachers to ask what I'm doing in my classroom.

I teach 5th grade and can't wait to introduce it to my students in Sept when school starts.

I am going to go back to other sections of this site and learn some more.

So happy to be here!

I feel the same way. This is a great site. What grade do you teach? I teach middle school. Do you think this will work with that age group? I think I'm going to give it a try.

I teach 5th grade in a middle school. I think middle school kids will THRIVE on this. I'm in Michigan. Where are you? This seems so great, I can't figure out why more teachers aren't using it. I'd love to go to a free training. If I had known about it sooner maybe I would have talked my husband into going to the one in Minnesota.

I'm sure you would love the conferences. I've been fortunate enough to attend several Power Teaching conferences, (before it became whole brain teaching) and my students have responded well to class -yes, and other attention grabbers.

They loved Penny words (similar though not the same as Superspeed. I can't wait to introduce SuperSpeed to them. I know that they will love it. I teach multiple grades, so several of my students are returners. I teach students who are typically at least two years behind in reading and building sight word automaticity is important, and these methods highly motivate students to want to do repetitiou and necessary practice.

Hey there,
I teach 7th/8th grade in Middle School. I have worked with Chris B on several occasions. I have never been rewarded for teaching on so many levels. Not to mention how much my kids just eat it up.
