Be 1% Better

Surprisingly Simple Ways to Transform Your School

About this book

As his school began rebounding from the unprecedented challenges posed by the pandemic, visionary educator Ron Clark asked himself a crucial question: How can we continue to improve when we're already giving our all? The answer was to ask his staff to brainstorm ways to be just a little bit better. If everyone committed to ten of these "one percenters, " as he called them, they would have a major impact. That's exactly what happened, and today, the Ron Clark Academy is leading the way with simple but innovative practices that are transforming the lives of students, parents, and teachers.In Be 1% Better, Clark opens his playbook, sharing dozens of ways he and his staff have made change doable. The strategies here work both within and beyond the classroom by breaking change down into "baby steps" that can easily be integrated into daily tasks and that don't involve months of planning or considerable resources. Be 1% Better equips educators, administrators, staff, and school leaders with everything they need to get just a little bit better, then watch as these "one percenters" cascade into cultural and curricular shifts that benefit everyone.
