The Essential 55

A fantastic book. Very inspirational for teachers who want to be really good teachers. Although focused in a high school situation I have adapted ideas into the primary school situation, with great success. Good values and common politeness highlighted in the rules.

Great Read

This book was a quick read full of good ideas. I can't believe how much of good teaching today has to include manners and other things children should be learning at home, but if it does, here is the way to accomplish it. The book is good for parents as well. Mr. Clark's accounts of his teaching experiences are interesting, fun, and useful. I found that watching the DVD on his teaching experiences, "The Ron Clark Story," helped me understand the book. It gave me a framework for the 55 rules.

Just what I wanted.

The book arrived in great condition. It has been gently used if at all.

Ron Clark redefines the word hero!!!

Ron Clark is everything a teacher today needs to be, and more!!! Choosing to take the more difficult path and work in a tough, urban district he made magic happen with his students. My favorite part about Clark and this book is that it reminds us teachers that there are three components to learning: knowledge, skills, and values. Too often teachers become overwhelmed with preparing their students for the state exams at the end of the year that they forget the key ingredient of classroom success - good citizenship. As teachers, it is not our job to simply fill our students' minds with as much information as possible. It is our job to prepare them for the next stage of life, both academically and emotionally. ---Michael James D'Amato, author of "The Classroom"

I LOVE THIS BOOK!!! HE HAS GREAT IDEAS FOR TEACHERS AND PARENTS!!

THIS IS A GREAT BOOK!! HE IS REALLY A SERIOUS TEACHER ABOUT TEACHING. . .BUT MAKES IT FUN AND WONDERFUL FOR KIDS OF ALL KINDS. I LOVE THIS BOOK FOR ALL TEACHERS AND PARENTS ALIKE. HIS 55 RULES BASICALLY BOIL DOWN TO: DO YOUR BEST, TAKE PRIDE IN ALL THAT YOU DO, BE POLITE AND RESPECTFUL OF OTHERS, DON'T EXPECT TO ALWAYS BE REWARDED FOR YOUR BEST, BUT WORK LIKE THERE IS A REWARD, FOR YOUR OWN SATISFACTION. GREAT TOOLS AND A WONDERFUL READ!
