and Its Effects on Student Motivation and Classroom Interaction
and Its Effects on Student Motivation and Classroom Interaction
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects Whole Brain Teaching has on student motivation and classroom interaction. Whole Brain Teaching uses novelty and movement to create a multi-sensory education experience. Research has found that “movement in the classroom activates the cerebellum, an area of the brain believed to communicate with 45% of the neurons in the brain” (Brobeck et al, 2016).

Not only was I able to immerse myself in a Whole Brain Teaching classroom this fall, I was later fortunate enough to become 3rd grade teacher once my placement finished. Balancing full time teaching and being a full time senior in college definitely came with many challenges but my students are the most wonderful, creative, kind kiddos and I would't change it for anything. #3TeamAwesome

I would not be the teacher I am today if it weren't for my amazing support team
Kristen DiGiovanni: I cannot thank you enough for all of your help, especially senior semester, you are truly an amazing, selfless person.
Professor Davison, Professor Flewelling, Professor Hatton, Professor McLaughlin, Professor Stasiak, and Professor Reynolds: Thank you all for helping me grow as an educator and giving me so many tools for success.
And of course, my parents, thank you for always supporting me and making me feel valued in my career path. I wouldn’t be able to dream as big as I do if it weren’t for your constant support and love!
