He has written four books for Stenhouse Publishers:Â MechanicallyInclined,Â Everyday Editing,Â 10 Things Every Writer Needs to KnowÂ and his latest book with Dr.Deborah Dean of BYUÂ Revision Decisions: Talking Through Sentences and BeyondÂ (November 2014).He also has two middle grade novels,Â Zack Delacruz: Me and My Big MouthÂ (Sterling, 2015) andÂ ZackDelacruz: Just My LuckÂ (Sterling, October 2016).Jeff grew up in Austin, where he learned to love writingthrough journaling, a bit of positive reinforcement, and writing stories and dramas to entertain his friends onthe phone. He wanted to become a teacher early on, but his parents tried to convince him otherwise. 'Theywanted me to make more money.' During an internship visit to a local elementary classroom, he made up hismind. 'When I saw those curious eyes, kids raising their hands, asking questions, I lost all track of time andfrom that moment on, I was a teacher. I want to create environments that feel safe for learners at theelementary, middle, and university levels and during professional development for teachers. Workingtogether we figure out things, surprise each other, find our strengths, and experience the joy it is to be alearner and teacher. We are students and teachers to each other.'Jeff specializes in writing, revision, andgrammar. 'I love the ability to spark curiosity and creativity and to support students in finding their voices.That's pure joy.' When it comes to his own professional development, he wants to explore things that havemeaning to him in the classroom. 'I want to find out things I didn't know, be affirmed or reminded of what Ido know, and be energized by thinking and action, reflection and application. Since that's what I want, that'swhat I give teachers. Something they can take, shape, and make their own. Something they can use rightnow.'Jeff's first bookÂ Mechanically Inclined, came to life from what he didn't know and what he needed toknow. 'I read, tried things out, played in my head and in my classroom, and read some more, permutatingand refining. I thought about what worked and what didn't, as well as what sound pedagogical principles areused in other disciplines.'His other books also came from his work in his own classrooms and those acrossthe United States. The invitational processÂ Everyday EditingÂ is built around was first shared inworkshops until teachers wanted another book on grammar.Â 10 ThingsÂ was Jeff's chance to share whathis experience had taught him are the essential things every writer needs to know and be able to do. In hisfirst collaboration, Jeff and Debbie came together to tackle a sentence combining and its larger effects onrevision and writing.In his free time, Jeff walks his dogs Carl and Paisley or sits on the deck with his partnerTerry. When he's not doing that he reads middle grade novels and his new addiction is nonfiction. Readmore
