As a teacher, you will have to assess the foundation skills your students in order to move to the next level. Here's what you will be doing today: NOTE: You will not be allowed to check out the iPads until you have completed the above steps.

 * Movie: The Ron Clark Story (Part I) ||

Sit back and watch an award-winning educator's journey toward discovering the successful student in every child. How did he take a classroom from chaos to control?

See how many of Ron's rules you can identify during the movie. Record them on your viewer's guide.

Obtain, collect, copy, or find the rules your teacher uses in the classroom. You will need to obtain a hard or electronic copy of the rules, take a picture if the rules are posted on a classroom poster, or interview your teacher and write down what he/she shares about the rules and discipline  plan with you.
