What? Whole brain teaching is a new "radical" idea to some, however it is nothing more than tried and true teaching practices, combined into a new approach. Whole brain teaching combines direct instruction, sharing, and immediate feedback to become a new style of teaching. Whole brain teaching includes seven steps that a teacher incorporates into their everyday classroom.
Why?
Whole brain teaching is considered c onsidered a best practice, practic e, because this method of teaching seeks to empower students as learners. It allows students to be more knowledgeable through lectures and activities to enhance learning. However, whole brain teaching attempts to break b reak away from this norm no rm and allow students to become the "more knowledgeable ones" in control of teaching, while also taking attention away from tests and focusing on daily activities.
