Jonathan Eckert has been a teacher for over two decades in classrooms ranging from elementary to college. He has written numerous articles on effective teaching, education policy, and teacher leadership. He earned a doctorate from Vanderbilt University and worked at the U.S. Department of Education in both the Bush and Obama administrations.
