Find Your Blindspot in the Classroom
You are a classroom teacher, wanting the best for your students. Do you know the one thing that is holding you back?
You are a school administrator, wanting your teachers to grow professionally. How do you guide them towards self-awareness?
In most schools, educators primarily receive feedback
that is not super-deep, does not address the teacher comprehensively, and is more of a ‘one-
size-fits-all’ measurement that doesn’t quite fit anyone. Find Your Blindspot combats this gap
in effective development with research-backed tools and strategies that are sensible and manageable for any teacher who would
like to improve their practice.
You Don't Know What You Don't Know.

Author Anne Bonnycastle reveals 10 common blindspots that can be challenging for teachers, whether they are in year one or 20.

The book’s unique, no-frills, personalized approach will help you improve your classroom instruction, focusing on the effect that your teaching has on students. The research-supported strategies will help you increase your effectiveness, regardless of the supports available within your school.

"This text offers teachers exactly
what most of us want - to improve in a way that is reflective and customized to our
needs, and specific enough to address with concrete steps. I see the primary audience
as teachers who are experienced educators, perhaps have a few years under their belts,
and are ready to dive more deeply into how they can become even better teachers."
