No sé si es más acertado el nuevo nombre o no, lo que si que veo es que pierde gancho.
Whole Brain Teaching es un nombre que engancha a maestros i sobre todo a alumnos.
"Whole Brain Teaching" parece una justificación innecesaria a un sistema que ya sabemos qué se trabaja y sobretodo que funciona.
Como mucho encuentro útil este nuevo nombre para usarlo con las personas que no lo conocen (y quieren conocerlo) pero no para presentarlo a un grupo de alumnos.
Parece una tonteria, pero Whole Brain Teaching lo veo más atractivo y motivador para los alumnos.

I'll try to translate this, because I think it's important:
I don't know if this new name is more suitable or not, but what I see is that it loses "punch".
Whole Brain Teaching is a name that grasps teachers and, mainly, students.
"Whole Brain Teaching" seems an unnecessary justification of a system that we know what it works and that we know that it works.
At the most I find this new name useful for using it with people that don't know the method (and want to know it) but not for presenting it to a group of students.
It seems silly, but I see Whole Brain Teaching more attractive and motivating for students.

I do think he has a point. "Whole Brain Teaching" was like stronger, more catchy... I know the change of name tries to transmit that we train the whole brain, that our method is not only "Classroom management", but I understand Lukas's concern.
Best,
Edward
