<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>From the Disney Teacher of the Year and " New York Times"-bestselling author comes the classic guide to bringing out the best in students, revised and updated for today's teachers featuring a new Foreword from the author and a fresh take on his classic rules.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>When Ron Clark walked into his fifth-grade class in rural North Carolina, he was confronted with a tremendous challenge. The children had little interest in learning, and were sorely lacking in guidance. How would he transform a group of apathetic kids into disciplined, thoughtful, and curious students? He quickly realized that they needed to learn some basic rules.</br></br> Clark compiled a list of 55 lessons, and soon, his fifth-grade students--who once struggled to read at the third-grade level--were reading at the sixth-grade level . . . and loving it. What's more, they were gaining something crucial-self-respect. Those 55 lessons evolved into what Clark calls The Essential 55 -- guidelines for living and interacting with others.</br></br><i>The Essential 55</i> will prepare parents and educators to teach students the rules for life -- everything from knowing how to say thank you, to acing an interview.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><i>The Essential 55</i>: rules for a lifetime.--<b>EducationWorld.com</b><br><br>Ron Clark's approach to classroom management is clearly a three-legged stool made of high expectations, an unmistakable belief that children can succeed, and a support system that makes students want to do the right thing.

[H]is cogent explanations about why he created his rules and his closing tips on dealing with parents and children offer plenty of ideas and much-needed support...this book is a definite winner...
