Think back to your most engaging experience as a student. What made it so exhilarating and memorable? What made it so effective? Such questions about student engagement obsessed Weston Kieschnick from his earliest days as a teacher. Today, Kieschnick travels the globe to keynote and coach educators on the topics most relevant to student success. In the intervening decades, Kieschnick refined his teaching craft, observed the most captivating teachers, and studied the best speakers to reverse engineer a student engagement formula.

The Educator's ATLAS holds both learner needs and teacher wisdom in equal importance.

Teachers will finish this book with a plan in hand and the full confidence that they are ready to be engagement pros. And as is always the case with Kieschnick's books, readers will laugh and have a lot of fun along the way.
