Synopsis

hen The Essential 55 was published, Ron Clark became a tireless promoter, traveling the country to speak to large groups of teachers and fans. And when his Oprah appearance shot the book onto the New York Times bestseller list, he kept the heat on. We can expect the same tenacious commitment to promoting his follow-up book, The Excellent 11. The Excellent 11 contains eleven sections with each one focusing on a theme directly related to teaching and raising children. Ron Clark draws from his own experience to give advice, telling personal stories that demonstrate the significance of each theme within the learning environment-an environment that extends beyond the classroom and into the larger world. Using themes ranging from Adventure, Ingenuity, and Humor to Dedication, Creativity, and Love, Clark provides a road map for both parents and teachers who want to enrich their children's learning experiences.

About this title

About the Author:

Ron Clark has been a teacher since 1995 and has taught in the most difficult schools in North Carolina and Harlem. Since winning Disney's 2001 Teacher of the Year, he has spoken across the country to teachers, school boards and PTAs to share his 55 Rules. He lives in Atlanta.

From AudioFile:

Enthusiasm, adventure, creativity, reflection, balance, compassion, confidence, humor, common sense, appreciation, and resilience are the basis of this newest guide to teaching by the popular author of THE ESSENTIAL 55. Narrating in his unmistakable North Carolina accent, Clark is a wonderful writer with stories that are a perfect match for his ideas on teaching. Describing but never gloating over his achievements, he challenges listeners, inspires them, and provides an entertaining listening experience in the process. Though some of the techniques and strategies require heroic devotion to the job, he describes them with old-fashioned humility that inspires rather than intimidates. An appealing abridgment of a formidable but inviting lesson. T.W. © AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
