Rhonda and I are ready to dive into Step 2 of Coach B.'s latest book Quickstart!  Step 2 is all about implementation.  As Coach says in the podcast, it's great to have a new car, but how do we get it started.  Coach breaks it down in Step 2 by talking to us about the importance of an Improvement Agenda.

Buckle up!  This episode is going to show you how small improvements within ourselves model those improvement practices we want to see in our students!

Thank you for always giving us such great support and feedback!  As we are revving up for the 2025-2026 school year, we hope these podcasts help you have the amazing start you deserve!  Thank you for listening and sharing!  We couldn't do what we do without YOU!

It's SEASON 6 of Whole Brain Teaching the Podcast!!  Rhonda and I are back and back earlier than anticipated because Coach B. has released his AMAZING book "Whole Brain Teaching QuickStart: Five Steps to Teaching Heaven." 

Y'all, Coach B. is ALWAYS thinking of YOU and he asked Rhonda and I if we would be willing to cut our summer vacation short in order to get this book into podcasts!  Of course we said YES without hesitation because YOU are the reason we do what we do!!

So, join us for the next six weeks as we dive into each chapter!  This does not take the place of having this book in your hands!  No way!  However, it is another resource to help you implement what you read in these pages.  Head over to Amazon and get your copy!  This book is a MUST HAVE!!

Step 1 is all about brain facts!  If you are going to implement WBT, you have to understand why we do what we do by understanding the brain!  Coach breaks it down for us as only he can!

Thank you for listening!  Share wildly with your educator friends and administrators.  Thank you for joining us for Season 6!  We cannot wait to bring you all the amazing things we are going to bring you this year!

The end of the school year can be fraught with exhaustion.  Teachers and students are exhausted alike, but we still have anywhere from two weeks to a month left of school.  How can we be rejuvinated even at the end of the school year?  Rhonda and I sat down with Coach Chris Biffle to discuss just that!  His remedy?  The Improvement Agenda: A Cure-All for Viral Exhaustion!  

This is a must-listen as we all want to finish our school year strong!  In addition, this podcast is a definate "must share" with your teacher friends because we are all in the same boat.

State testing is just around the corner.  A time that gives most educators and students anxiety!  However, you had to know that Coach Chris Biffle would have a solution.  This week, Rhonda and I sat down with Coach B. to discuss how to get students ready for State Testing using the cornerstone of Whole Brain Teaching... SUPER IMPROVER!  Super Improver has long been an individual motivator in any Whole Brain Teaching Classroom and now we can use it as a way to help motivate students to improve on their State Test taking skills!  If you are an educator that does not do State Testing, trust me... this episode is still for you!  These strategies can be used for ANY test taking!

With Easter coming up and family committments, we will be holding off recording our next episode until April 27th, but the beauty of podcasts is they are always available to listen to and relisteen to, so even during a short break, you can still tap into all the WBT goodness these podcasts have to offer!

We appreicate you!  YOU are why we do this!  Thank you for listening and sharing our passion for WBT with your teacher friends and administrators!

If you are like many educators during this time of the year, we are seeing an increase in unkind words and behavior issues.  It's been a long year and we need some intervention... STAT!  Leave it to Coach B. to come to our rescue.

Rhonda and I sat down with Coach to discuss Ro-Sham-Bo and how this simple yet effective game of uncertain reward can change our most beloved rascal into a complementing machine!  Do NOT miss this episode and be sure to share it with your educator friends because we are all feeling the weight of exhaustion this time of the year.  Give your teacher friends a much needed boost with this podcast!

Rhonda and I aren't sure how he does it, but Coach B. has done it again!  He knows that teachers are continually trying to get their students to be engaged in the lessons they have worked tirelessly to craft!  Well, has Coach got the answer for you.  In this podcast, Coach explains how to get the most engagement for all of your hard work... and it's nothing short of BRILLIANT!

Welcome back to the podcast!  Rhonda and I were able to spend some time with Coach Chris Biffle, WBT Founder and Creator, to record a podcast about the simplest way in the universe to implement WBT!  That is a big statement, but Coach B. absolutely delivers in this episode!
