The Epic Classroom with Trevor Muir ·

2024/11/25

In this episode, I share a tradition from my first school: hosting a Thanksgiving feast for the entire school.

We’ll explore how creating a culture of belonging can impact student engagement and learning—and how small, intentional efforts can make a big difference in your classroom or school.

Creative struggle is difficult, but it's also important.

But the reality is, sometimes the struggle is necessary.

Starting Class With Good Things

The Epic Classroom with Trevor Muir ·

2024/02/01

"Good Things"is a calculated way for students to get the most out of every class period. Like many teaching approaches, while not always obvious, there is a method to the madness. It is a routine to help establish classroom culture, a shared set of values that unify the group and create a sense of cohesion. These collective values form the foundation for all of the learning that happens in the classroom. Link to New Teacher Mindset Contact Trevor: trevor@trevormui.com

2024/01/17

I live here in Michigan, And we've had a whole string of snow days lately. And for my kids it's been like an endless recess. sledding and snow forts and snowball fights, and getting together with the neighbor kids and playing for hours and hours outside. It’s felt like the good old days, before video games and tablets. It's been cold, but for an eight and a 9-year-old, there's nothing quite like a snow day. And it reminds me how much children need to play. they need to move. I see this

2023/12/20

Is the school week before the Holiday Break a big waste of time? Holiday parties, watching Christmas movies, not doing a lot of academic work—well, from the outside looking in, it might look like that, but I don't think it is. Celebrations, relaxing, having fun—these are some of the best parts of being human. I know I need fun in my work life, and so do kids. This is culture-building. When we take the time to play, laugh, and eat, we create cohesion within our classrooms. This cohesion

Why Some Kids Hate Christmas

The Epic Classroom with Trevor Muir ·

2023/12/01

For many students, the holidays are a time of joy and anticipation. However, that often isn't the case for every student. The reality is, for some students, no school for 2 weeks means no regular meals for 2 weeks, no daily contact with teachers who love and care about them, and if you live where I live, often no warm air for 2 weeks. This is why you may notice certain kids act-out as a reaction to the anxiety they are experiencing right now, or seem to shrink when the class is asked what

36: There Are No Perfect Teachers

The Epic Classroom with Trevor Muir ·

2023/05/25

You don’t have to be perfect to get to know your students and build relationships with them. Perfection isn't required to make your class memorable and even fun. Heck, sometimes it won’t be memorable and fun, and that’s okay. Students still learn and grow and fail and succeed in my imperfect classes.
