Whole Brain Teaching

I was introduced to Whole Brain Teaching from the Kindergarten teachers at my school. We spent collaborative meetings watching Whole Brain Teaching videos and discussing how we would implement the ideas into our own classrooms. One of my favourite components of Whole Brain Teaching is their Five Classroom Rules. You can find them here.
For the way that I teach, rule number three doesn't really work for me (Raise your hand for permission to leave your seat), so I use an alternate rule: "Respect yourself, respect others, respect this place."
Because I use that alternate rule, I am unable to use most of the WBT rule posters that are out there on Teachers Pay Teachers and blogs. So, I decided to create my own set and share them with anyone else who is interested. For that set, I included the traditional rule set, as well as my alternate rule #3. I hope you enjoy! You can download them for free at my Teachers Pay Teachers store. Click the image to go check it out!
