PROBLEM SOLVING

Each week, a new set of academic questions will be posted. The answers to the questions will be at the bottom of the page. There will be four categories of questions: English, Math, Science, and Social Studies. Between the questions and answers will a work ethics statement and statements and comments from Ron Clark's book The Essential 55. Ron Clark has been a teacher for fifteen years. He began his career in rural North Carolina and then went north to teach in Harlem. After leaving Harlem, he co-founded The Ron Clark Academy in Atlanta, Georgia. Ron was the recipient of the 2001 Disney Teacher of the Year Award, In 2006, a movie was made about his move to Harlem. The name of the movie is The Ron Clark Story. I was privileged to hear Mr. Clark speak at the 2009 NCPN Conference in Atlanta. A special thanks to Staci Lynch, Director of External Affairs for The Ron Clark Academy and Kim Bearden, co-founder and Executive Director of the Ron Clark Academy, for granting me permission to quote from The Essential 55.
