7. Annie Brock
Annie Brock is a K-12 innovation specialist and the author of three great books: Introduction to Google Classroom, The Growth Mindset Coach, and The Growth Mindset Playbook.
Annie’s pedagogical ideas have been well-received in the teaching profession, with her books receiving wide-acclaim for their excellent practicality and user-friendly format. The Growth Mindset Coach, for example, outlines a recurring month by month guide to actually developing the growth mindset with students in the classroom.
I personally liked Annie’s book (which was co-authored by Heather Hundley – another inspirational teacher) for it’s ‘mantras’ that create a theme for each month. This makes the book really enjoyable and I can personally vouch for the fact that the techniques work!
Her ‘not yet’ mantra for April, for example, really helped me to create formative and summative assessments that encourage students to go further and deeper with their learning, rather than accepting a point score and moving on.
Annie lives in Holton, Kansas, with her husband, Jared, and their two children.
