I have shared WBT with some of my colleagues at university-level. Is there anyone else who is using it outside Math and English content areas? I am using it with my science methods and classroom management classes. I am interested in what others are doing and/or experiencing.

I actually teach at a culinary arts college and I use it in my classroom classes. I am just a beginner, but in my supervision class (45 rowdy students!!) I have used Class-YES and am absolutely amazed at how well it works!!!

Hi There; To date I have not tried WBT, but I am going to be employing WBT in three psychology classes this coming Fall. Currently I am teaching all online, but in August I will be going with the Univ. of Virginia's Semester at Sea classes around the world on a ship. I'll be teaching Intro to Psych, Culture and Personality, and Cross-Cultural Psychology. Class sizes should be between 25 and 30, so this should be a lot of rowdy fun. I am really looking forward to trying it. More later.

When I asked one of my graduate school students to tell me something she had tried recently that excited her, she demonstrated the five WBT classroom rules and went on to explain how Chris Biffle’s ideas had transformed her classroom and had influenced other teacher in her building. That week I Googled Chris and spent hours watching YouTube, reading as much as I could about Whole Brain Teaching, and planning an introduction to WBT for the next class. The introduction took place with the help of the WBT teacher who shared her successes with me. We reviewed the class-yes, teach-ok, and the five basic rules. It went really well.

One of the students from the class implemented elements of WBT the next day. He teaches ninth grade algebra. He reported that his students loved it! This summer, I am teaching philosophy of education. WBT will be an important part of that experience. Plus, I will have the advantage of starting the class five days after returning from the National Convention in Louisiana!

As a professor of graduate education, I am responsible to teach specific content, and I am expected to model effective teaching techniques. WBT has become part of my teaching that will nicely complement the other forms of active learning I model in the classroom: cooperative learning, problem-based learning, and team-based learning.

This is a true testimonial for Chris Biffle and all of his followers. Yes, this works! Even in college you started like most of us have done. I have taught for many years, and now teach Kindergarten/First and I am a true believer.

Welcome to what Mr. Biffle calls "teacher heaven"

Walsh University, in Canton, Ohio, has some very cool things going on with WBT. I began using WBT in classes last spring, and then attended the National Convention at Louisiana College. Since that time, a group of Master's students and I have been conducting an action research project that will chronicle their experiences implementing WBT in their classrooms. Two of the students have requested to complete an independent study/research project that will entail investigation of whole brain learning research and its alignment with WBT. We will work collaboratively to develop a paper to publish in the spring. Thus far, the teachers/grad students have had great early success (not surprising). Our hope is to add research support to the practical application of WBT and the positive impact the methods have for student learning.
