The "New Teacher Mindset” is a collaborative effort book by educator/authors Trevor Muir and John Spencer, on a mission to ensure that educators maintain their traditional wisdom, but ensure teaching methods evolve with the needs of their students. It provides practical and innovative strategies for any new teacher on day one and any veteran teacher on day 1,000 and beyond. Through meaningful discussion, collaborative "play” sessions, and expert advice, participants will be able to take away ideas to ensure students are college, career, and civic ready graduates. Some of the topics included in the reading, as well as in class activities, will include building relationships, proactive classroom management, climate, culture, organization, authenticity, differentiating instruction, and assessment. Muir and Spencer also remind teachers of the importance of self care and being a superhero. This course will include the book "New Teacher Mindset - Practical and Innovative Strategies to Be Different from Day One” by Trevor Muir and John Spencer. There will be five in-person meetings on Wednesdays for support, discussion, and collaboration. The book and participant stipend will be provided through the OHM BOCES Teacher Center. Books will be sent via BOCES courier to participating teachers prior to the first meeting. New K-12 teachers are encouraged to attend and veteran teachers looking for fresh ideas are welcome! Participants will have the opportunity to attend an in-person conference sponsored by the Teacher Center and Program Professional Learning with Trevor Muir and John Spencer on March 14, 2025!
