Ron Clark: The Dancing Teacher Who Went Viral

 

 Ron Clark, founder of the Ron Clark Academy, has taken a different approach to teaching. He has abandoned traditional teaching methods and has met kids at their level.  By embracing the interests and culture of his students, he is able to engage on a deeper level with them. Recently, his Bet You Can't Do It Like Me Challenge video with his students has went viral on the internet.  

Sure it may seem kind of silly what Ron is doing, but it has actually proven to be quite effective.  Since opening in 2007, all but one student at Ron Clark Academy has eventually gone on to college. How's that for some Monday Motivation!  Check out some of Ron Clarks moves and hear more about the Academy below.
