In the film, The Ron Clark Story, teacher Ron Clark demonstrates a lot of positive behaviors towards his students. Not only does he attempt to teach his students but he goes far beyond the walls of the classroom to gain a better understanding of his students, their families, and the community they live in. Mr. Clark shows his students that he genuinely cares about them and believes that they can learn and achieve big dreams by taking risks.
There are many events that took place in the movie that inspired me as a future educator. I can honestly say that at the moment, being as I am still in training, I don’t know if I have the confidence to volunteer to take on the challenges that Mr. Clark has taken.
Mr. Clark takes several steps towards reaching out to his students. He visits with their families in attempt to involve them in his students’ learning. He related their learning material with their interests, the “President’s Rap” and the chocolate milk event for example.
Before being able to do that. He had to first manage his classroom. He set basic rules. One, that they are a family which means that they don’t leave each other, they look out for each other & stand up for each other. Two, that they respect each other. Anytime that something happened in the classroom that conflicted with the basic rules, Mr. Clark had his student’s come up with additional rules of their own.
He puts effort into reaching out to his students to inspire them to believe in themselves. He shares personal stories with his students then has them light a candle as a symbol of their faith in themselves and their commitment to try their very best to succeed.

Yes, Ron Clark was an inspiration to others in his profession, and he didn't give up on his students. He was persistent. E.F.
