Publisher Description
When 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.

“I really enjoyed listening to the audio book version of this one. After reading The Essential 55– and then being fortunate enough to visit the Ron Clark Academy this past spring–hearing Ron narrate was just another way to pretend I was still there and soak up all the “Ron Clark-edness” that I could. This second book is surprisingly still full of good advice (especially, I thought, his piece on the incorporation of vocabulary), and I plan to listen to the third when it comes out in July as well. Truly an inspiration to those teachers who sometimes feel they are “going it alone”… Ron’s testimonies are a reminder to commit to excellence in our responsibilities and gifts as teachers, and be satisfied with nothing less.”
