Matt Eicheldinger

Matt Eicheldinger is a middle school teacher, keynote speaker, and multiple New York Times, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly bestselling author. Often called the “teacher who wrote it all down,” in just one year he went from classroom teacher to signing more than fifteen book deals across multiple genres and grade levels, making him one of the most prolific authors of his generation. With more than 1 million followers online and over 200 million views across social media, Matt has built a global audience by sharing the book, stories, lessons, and unforgettable moments from his years in the classroom.

The journey began with a simple habit: Matt started writing things down. From the funny, unexpected remarks of his students to the small moments that made him pause, he filled journals with the everyday magic unfolding in his classroom. Over time, he realized these weren’t simply memories—they were lessons waiting to be shared.

Those reflections became the foundation for books like Sticky Notes: Memorable Lessons from Ordinary Moments, which celebrates the humor, resilience, kindness, and imagination found in everyday life. Today, Matt’s books span audiences from young readers to adults, with many more titles on the way.

Matt now travels the country as a highly sought-after keynote speaker and author, sharing stories from the classroom with educators, organizations, students, and audiences around the country. His presentations combine humor, storytelling, and meaningful takeaways, reminding audiences that some of the most powerful lessons are often hiding in the ordinary moments we might otherwise overlook.

With multiple books scheduled for publication over the next three years, Matt continues to turn the stories he once wrote down in his classroom into books, keynotes, and ideas that reach far beyond it.
