Whole Brain Classrooms Procedures, Transitions, and Management Tips to Help Challenging Kids
Today We Will . . . • Discuss difficult behavior you have in your classrooms • Define behavior management • Identify the major areas of the brain, their location and function • Learn about the WBT Tool Box • Discuss ideas for effective transitions • Additional tips and tricks
Environment “A safe and productive learning environment is created through consistent classroom organization, procedures, and behavior management. It is a place in which educators and students are positive and respectful of one another. Effective educators create developmentally appropriate and challenging learning experiences, demonstrate caring and understanding of individual learner strengths, interests, and diverse needs while maintaining high expectations.” - Evaluate Davis Standards
The best classroom and behavior management system is so good, it’s nearly invisible.Great behavior management and teaching go hand in hand.
In your dream (but realistic) classroom, students are . . . only listening OR listening, conversing, moving, winning, loosing, repeating, making decisions, taking turns and just too busy to misbehave
Orderly Fun • Students are . . . • Using gestures to explain concepts • Easily gathered for instruction • Talking animatedly on topic with a peer • Understanding and following directions • Not afraid to make mistakes • Participating in a classroom community where their great work is recognized • Working together to earn a reward • Not doing worksheets

Mirror Researchers believe that the brain has special “mirroring” neurons that are scattered through your brain and help you learn by example. You copy others’ behavior almost instinctively regardless of whether it is good behavior or bad behavior. Newborns mirror their parents’ behavior and continue to do so through their young life.
