THE
RON CLARK STORY follows the inspiring tale of an energetic, creative and
idealistic young teacher who leaves his small North Carolina hometown to teach
in a New York City public school. Through his passionate use of special rules
for his classroom, highly innovative teaching techniques and an undying
devotion to his students and helping them cope with their problems; Clark is
able to make a remarkable difference in the lives of his students. For one
young girl trying to attend school while helping to raise her brothers and
sisters, he offers a chance for her to overcome her situation and become one of
the class' top students. For a young man with a penchant for graffiti, he
offers an ideal outlet for artistic expression. Even when he is almost overcome
by pneumonia, Clark continues to work with his students, hoping that he can
raise their test scores to an acceptable level, or possibly even higher.
As a result of his achievements, Clark won Disney's prestigious Teacher of the Year Award and was featured in Oprah's O magazine as her first Phenomenal Man of the year. He has also written several successful books on education and child rearing.
