Meeting Ron Clark

Wow! All I have is one word for this guy: PASSIONATE!

Our beginning of the school year kickoff featured award winning educator Ron Clark as the keynote speaker. What a treat. I was definitely not feeling school this year. In fact, I remember just telling Nell that this was the most unenthusiastic I have ever been about starting school. That is definitely not the case anymore. This was exactly what I needed.

Ron has been a personal teaching hero of mine for years and it was a pleasure to hear him talk. His passion for teaching is a marvel. The guy is a dynamo. And although he did not talk much abut it, he is a believer in balance, which is so important to me. He is also the "real deal" as he continues to teach and spend his time in front of a classroom full of kids each year. This gives him incredible street cred as a presenter. I feel very privileged to have met him and definitely feel ready to roll for this year!
