Rhonda and I are so excited to be back with another 5-minute podcast!  This week, we sit down with Coach Chris Biffle to discuss how to help quarreling students (and you) with the beloved game of Ro-Sham-Bo (also known as Rock, Paper, Scissors)!  I don't know about you, but this time of the year when there are so many fun activities that take us out of our normal routine, students can become more quarrelsome.  I for sure am dealing with this!  So why not take a 2-minute break to play Ro-Sham-Bo and drop some compliments on one another? We hope you find this 5-minute podcast valuable.  Our goal is to give you no-prep strategies that you can implement immediately!  Thank you for listening and sharing the podcast!  Your love for the podcast continues to fuel us!  We are here to help YOU because what you are doing as an educator is so incredibly valuable! Leave your comments and suggestions on our Facebook and Instagram pages!  Let us see how you are using Ro-Sham-Bo in your classrooms!

Rhonda and I  are back with a new series from the brain of Coach Chris Biffle!  We are starting a series of podcasts that are literally 5 minutes long!  You can listen to these podcasts right before school and implement the ideas that day! Our first 5-minute podcast is Increase the Power of Class/Yes with Math Facts.  I don't know about you, but this comes at the perfect time as we are starting our unit on multiplication! We hope you enjoy these shorter podcasts!  Please let us know your thoughts on the format on our Facebook pages!  Are there any other strategies you think we can condense into a 5-minute podcast? We are here for you!  Thank you for liking, subscribing, and sharing!  We can't do this without YOU!

Rhonda and I are back again this week to sit down with Coach Chris Biffle to talk about Miracle 3 in Teaching Heaven!  Have you used the power of Dice rolls in your classroom?  Do your students excitedly wait for you to roll that glorious cube, all the while chanting for a 1, 2, 3, or 6 to show up?  If you haven't experienced this part of teaching Heaven yet, hold onto your socks!  In this episode, Coach breaks down not only the Dice Roll, but the Mega-Million Dice Roll!  What?!?!  You do NOT want to miss this episode!  We are so thankful for your listenership!  Please continue to like, share, subscribe, and follow to get the latest podcast as soon as it drops!

Blurting is one of the most universal problems in classrooms.  Even veteran WBT Teachers are not immune to blurting students.  That's why Rhonda and I sat down with Coach Chris Biffle to discuss how we can stop this pattern.  What a perfect time to bring this topic to the forefront... the beginning of the school year! This is a great extension of the podcast series we just completed where we went through the 5 steps Coach laid out for us in his Quickstart book!  As you will hear in the podcast, those 5 steps are instrumental in curbing the blurting!  As Coach says, "For the system to work, you have to work the system."  Power Bears is a great game to play while working the system! Keep sharing this podcast with all your educator friends and administrators!  Our goal is to bring you the most relevant content in real time to help you have the best Whole Brain Teaching year yet!

We're back with another episode of Whole Brain Teaching the Podcast!  This week, Rhonda and I sat down with Coach Chris Biffle to finish out his Quickstart Book with his chapter on the Bullseye Game.  Bullseye is one of WBT most powerful, classroom changing, relationship building games!  You definitely want to tuck this game in your back pocket and have it at the ready when needing to make even stronger connections with our most beloved rascals. Rhonda and I want to wish all of you who have started or will be starting school in the near future the best school year yet!  We are here to help.  You are not alone in this journey!  We will be back next week with another episode of Whole Brain Teaching the Podcast! Until then, please like, share, and follow us on your favorite podcast app!

As you will hear in this episode, while we thought we were done podcasting on this amazing book, we are NOT!  We are just getting started, y'all!  We believe this has been an amazing beginning to Season 6 of the podcast!  We cannot wait to see what is in store for all of us and the genius mind of Coach B. never sleeps!

Rhonda and I can't believe that we will be bringing you the last step - Step 5 - next week!  We can't wait to hear what Coach B. has to share with us!  Be sure to listen to or review Steps 1-4 before next weekend.  Remember to share what you have learned through these podcasts with your teacher friends and administrators!

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. Don't forget to like, share, and follow this podcast so you will be the first to be notified when each and every new podcast drops! You are why we do what we do!  Thank you so much for listening!

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!

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!
