Ron Clark’s outstanding success with students from low-wealth areas of North Carolina and New York City led him to be named Disney’s American Teacher of the Year. He is a New York Times bestselling author, and his classes have been honored at the White House on three separate occasions. Ron’s teaching experiences in New York City are the subject of the uplifting film, The Ron Clark Story, starring Matthew Perry.

Currently, Mr. Clark serves as a teacher and administrator at the Ron Clark Academy, an award-winning and internationally acclaimed middle school in Atlanta, Georgia. The school serves as a training site for educators, and each year thousands of teachers and administrators from around the world visit the Academy to be trained in its methods for helping all students achieve success. In addition, Ron trains thousands of educators across the U.S. and around the world, and consults with Fortune 500 companies, small businesses, and individuals nationwide to help them work better, faster, and more efficiently.
