For any of you who have not seen the movie called "The Ron Clark Story," it is absolutely wonderful. This movie is about a teachers struggle with a particularly difficult classroom, who are considered the children who perform under grade level. Ron Clark was determined to get these children's test scores above grade level by the end of the school year, but the children refused to cooperate with him. Mr. Clark never gave up on these students and sacrificed so much in order for them, to succeed. The children began to understand that he was only there because he wanted to see them grow and achieve their dreams so they decided to work hard for him and show that they were capable of doing well. At the end of the movie the principal announced that the class had scored better than any sixth grade class in the state and even better than the honors students at their own school; everyone was so excited and many of them went on to attend very prestigious middle schools.
This movie is such an inspiration to me as a future teacher because it shows me that with high expectations and motivation anything can be achieved. It is so important to me to make sure that my students know to dram big and to realize that they can achieve whatever they set their minds to. I plan to be the motivator my students need to give them that extra push to go out and reach for the stars.
