Teaching the Whole-Brain Child

Working from “The Whole-Brain Child” by Daniel J. Siegel M.D. and Tina Payne Bryson M.D. we explore what it looks like to create a classroom where we are teaching to the whole child. What does it mean to teach to the “whole-brain”? What practices are not serving this purpose? How can we create learning experiences that foster this naturally?

Chelsea Robberson always thought her dream was to be teaching in a classroom and loving every second of dancing along with her students to Tooty Ta by Dr. Jean. She took her first classroom role in 2005, served in the states and internationally. She moved into leadership in 2009. After serving as Assistant Director and Co-Director, she settled in as a Director in a licensed and accredited private early learning academy for 10 years. Her roles over the years allowed her to build new programs that pushed the assumed limits of what a classroom should look and function like, what teachers should focus on and learn, and what a school environment should feel like overall.
