Jonathan Juravich, Ph.D. began teaching elementary art outside of Columbus, Ohio in 2005. Still actively teaching art to young students, his personal and professional focus is on the importance of social and emotional learning in our daily lives. This is his favorite topic for research and discussion, including his dissertation, his TED Talk ‘How Do We Teach Empathy, ‘ his limited series podcast ‘The Art of SEL, ‘ and his Emmy award winning digital drawing program ‘Drawing with Mr. J.’ In 2018, Jonathan was named Ohio Teacher of the Year and one of four finalists for National Teacher of the Year. In 2023, he was named the National Elementary Art Teacher of the Year by the National Art Education Association. He lives in Columbus, Ohio with his family.
