Is there anyone out there who has used whole brain teaching in special education resource classes for the mild to moderate learning disabled? I have used this method this year with some small groups, but will be working with more difficult learning problems next year. I'm just curious as to how it has worked for anyone else.

Whole Brain Teaching methods have been used successfully here in Southern California with special ed classes for, at least, the last five years. Our most recent video, Whole Brain Teaching: " SuperSpeed 100 Reading" was shot in a special ed class; it's the last video on the videos page.

I teach Kindergarten in Texas. My campus has a small Kindergarten special education class. My room is the inclusion room for those students. Their disabilities vary across the spectrum. Whole Brain teaching works fabulous. These students are engaged and they are active. Most Kindergarteners benefit from shorter class lessons. Whole Brain teaching lessons that are taught are more specific. The students are moving(using the gestures), they are talking(when teaching their classmates), Listening (a very important skill), focused (with Hands and Eyes) and are now able to lead the class in the 5 rules, which are practiced when mistakes are made and several other times throughout the day. I get feedback regularly, when I have visitors in my room, on how well Whole Brain Teaching is working. Often times, they do not know who the Special Education students are. They are all POWER LEARNERS!

I viewed the video demonstrating the superspeed with a spec ed class. It was great. Is there going to be one showing the whole brain teaching management methods with a spec ed class? Not an inclusion class, but a pull-out class.
