Classroom Rules and Procedures

Chris Biffle demonstrates whole brain teaching in a middle school class in California. The video covers techniques for engaging students, including the 'class-yes' response, teaching five classroom rules, and using a scoreboard for motivation. Students practice these techniques, aiming for extra free time as a reward.
