Whole Brain Learning By Carolyn Barber Northern California's Simpson University in Redding hosted a dynam- ic training on Aug. 1. The presenter was Chris Bif- fle. Biffle led a fast paced, intense training on how to draw children into a Whole Brain Learning System. Pre-K through high school children are known to show great growth in levels of learn- ing when exposed to a fast paced, active learning method. Children heartily worked with a partner as they responded to the vocal pattern between teacher and child. The system has been carefully correlated to the Learning Standards of each state that has developed school standards. Whole brain learning provides and enriches the opportunity to learn the standards adopted by states, includ- ing California. Partici- pants in this exemplary training teamed up as partners to practice each subject, using hearing, sight, repetition and phys- ical movement to imbed each learning modality. Some research shows that learning acquired by movement lasts longer than any other kind. An example is that even if you don't ride a bicycle for twenty years, you never forget all the skills involved. Cycling is learning acquired by movement. Speaking, walking, eating, operating cars, computers, cell phones all involve thou- sands of complex move- ments. Whole brain teaching requires move- ment, because movement is the brain's most power- ful, stimulating learning tool. It was a very active training with adults prac- ticing each method with each other. I was privi- leged to have Myra Taylor as a partner in practicing each level of learning for children. Myra was learn- ing at a pace complimen- tary to teaching the whole brain. The Whole Brain concept developed by Chris Biffle works for children, Pre-K through high school level, and is correlated to California Learning Standards. Pub- lic, private and home schooling using this method can make amaz- ing strides in teaching all the basics needing to be learned by children. Not only will children learn, but adults will learn easier and active ways to learn more themselves. This opportunity to learn even more effective methods for teaching sparked my thought processes in the area of teaching, consult- ing and tutoring children and even adults at the lev- els of their individual learning needs. The brain learns by much repetition and in many brain areas in order to produce long term memory. In addition Photo by Carolyn Barber Chris Biffle presents the Whole Brain Learning System on Aug. 1 at Simpson University in Redding learning acquired by movement lasts longer than any other kind, speaking, walking, eating, operating cars, comput- ers, cell phones all involve thousands of complex movements. We are reminded that whole brain teaching requires movement, because movement is the brain's most powerful, stimulat- ing learning tool. I am encouraging parents and teacher's alike to look into whole brain teaching.
