I love how coach in Whole Brain teaching makes everything so easy. The six steps is another aha moment for me. I believe that all learners need to be treated with respect no matter how they are treated anywhere else.
I like how the first step is to give a smile to our learners. I do that everyday when my students come into school. I give them eye contact, greet them and give them a pleasant greeting. I don't worry about so much if they greet me back but I do expect them to acknowledge my presence.
Then I work on having them answer a question with a complete sentence and then several. It might take time but I truly believe if we focus on steps of instruction we can help our students with more difficult challenges later.
