The Essential 55 is a collection of the amazingly effective rules that Ron Clark used to become an extraordinary teacher. Through trial and error, this teacher has distilled fifty-five ideas that have helped him take apathetic students in some of the country's most challenging areas and transform them into award-winning scholars. Covering all aspects of life, from the classroom to the world, from human interactions to the most frightening of all -- cafeteria and bathroom manners -- Ron Clark shows that with determination, discipline, and regular rewards, the children you stick by will be the children you eventually admire.""""""""As long as you have the ability to learn, he can do anything with you-he can make you a star."""""""" --Quameisha, sixth-grade student, Harlem, NY ABOUT THE AUTHORRon Clark has been a teacher since 1995.
