At the heart of Trevor’s work as an author, speaker, and educator is sharing ideas and inspiration to keep moving the education system forward for the sake of students, their educators, and the communities they live in.

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 explores research, interviews experts, deconstructs systems, and studies real-world examples of student empowerment in action. He shares these insights in his four bestselling books, blog posts, journal articles, free resources, animated videos, and podcasts.

Live Workshops

Trevor Muir and Dr. 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. They will use the design thinking process to develop an authentic learning unit, discover strategies to lead classroom collaboration, learn instructional best practices, and much more.
