Review\nThis beautifully written, refreshing, and highly intelligent book highlights the much-overlooked human side of teaching. But it’s not "fluff." Jonathan Eckert demystifies the complexity of education and shines a spotlight on three necessary teaching elements, helping readers focus on what matters―to change the life of each student. -- Megan Allen, NBCT, Founder, 2010 Florida Teacher of the Year Published On: 2022-12-13\nLeave it to Jonathan Eckert to take a phrase that conjures up the skin crawl of proverbial nails on a chalkboard, use it as a book title, and then convince the reader to embrace it! Just Teaching does just that. Although "this book is only about three things," the synergy of well-being, engagement, and feedback as explored in these eight chapters create a powerful design of the essentials to teach each student well. Educators who prepare, are prepared, or are preparing to teach will benefit from this thoughtful work of inspiring stories and practical tools. -- P. Ann Byrd, President of CTQ Published On: 2022-12-13\nWith Just Teaching, Jonathan Eckert has written the right book for the right moment. District and school leaders are seeking coherent ways to frame the important work of academic recovery in a post-pandemic world. Eckert helps us by naming the FEW areas we must prioritize. His straightforward language along with built-in application tools allow even the busiest practitioners to read this book and―more important―use it with their teams in service of supporting students! -- Joan Dabrowski, Chief Academic Officer, Baltimore City Public Schools Published On: 2022-12-13\nThe dehumanization of American education on many fronts in the wake of a pandemic has often left teachers and students feeling alienated, like cogs in a broken system that no longer cares. The solution is as it has always been: in the eternity altering spark exchanged between caring teacher and engaged student. In Just Teaching, Jonathan Eckert injects new life and passion into this most noble profession, providing simple yet refreshingly creative strategies for engaging students, advancing their well-being, and restoring joy into the schoolhouse. This book will make teachers remember why they love what they do! -- Jay Ferguson, Head of School, Grace Community School, Tyler, TX Published On: 2022-12-13\nWhat a great book―for those beginning their training and for those in induction programs, as well as for all those already in the classrooms. Eckert reminds us of the power, complexity, simplicity, and joys of teaching. He asks us to savor the time as teachers, and make the experience meaningful to you, your students, and your colleagues. And he backs this with so many ways of thinking and doing that remind us daily of why we all entered this profession: to maximize our impact on others. -- John Hattie, Author, VISIBLE LEARNING® series Published On: 2022-12-13\nJonathan Eckert’s joy and admiration for the teaching profession has led him to create a book for teachers that combines a mix of practical advice with life-giving advice for finding the joy in the work. In Just Teaching: Feedback, Engagement, and Well-Being for Each Student, he shares advice and research about finding the essential parts of the job while also serving each student. In a time when our schools and communities need teachers more than ever, this book provides a road map for new teachers to begin their profession focusing on the most important aspects of the work and gives experienced teachers space to reclaim their enjoyment of teaching. Woven throughout are practical exercises for reflection, entertaining stories, and research supporting the practices he recommends. "Each educator matters because each student matters" and this book is a road map for making teaching a joy-filled and sustainable profession. And, he wouldn’t be a former eduwonk without including a one pager to summarize all this useful advice. -- JoLisa Hoover, US Department of Education Teaching,
