Trevor Muir

Dr. John Spencer
John is a former middle school teacher and current college professor with over two decades of experience in student-centered learning and design thinking.

He shares these insights in his four bestselling books, blog posts, journal articles, free resources, animated videos, and podcasts.
New Teacher Mindset
New Teacher Mindset is all about creating successful systems, practices, and protocols that make sense for today's teachers. To be the best teacher you can be, you need to understand how new technologies and a changing societal landscape have altered the needs of students―and how to modify your teaching approach accordingly. This book gives you a fresh take on topics like classroom management, project-based learning, group collaboration, increasing buy-in, and partnering with parents. The book is research-backed and provides concrete practices that have proven effective in real world classrooms.
- Get fresh, modern ideas for elevating your classroom and teaching style
- Build on traditional teaching practices with new techniques designed for today's fast-paced, tech-driven world
- Use practical activities and reader reflection questions to transform your practice right away
- Learn how to revitalize your teaching by focusing on the classroom as a whole, the individual student, and the teacher
This is an invaluable resource for K-12 educators and others working in the K-12 setting, all of whom need to learn to adapt and adjust to the constant shifting of the outside world. New Teacher Mindset is a roadmap for doing just that.
Trevor Muir and John Spencer offer fun, engaging, and learning-intensive live workshops. For new teachers and those looking for a fresh approach to teaching, the hands-on trainings get teachers confident and excited to lead the classroom.
New teachers are led through an intensive learning experience where they will learn and engage with the most pertinent topics in teaching.
