Ron Clark’s outstanding success with students from low-wealth areas of North Carolina and New York City led him to be named Disney’s American Teacher of the Year. He is a New York Times bestselling author, and his classes have been honored at the White House on three separate occasions.

Currently, Mr. Clark serves as a teacher and administrator at the Ron Clark Academy, an award-winning and internationally acclaimed middle school in Atlanta, Georgia. The school serves as a training site for educators, and each year thousands of teachers and administrators from around the world visit the Academy to be trained in its methods for helping all students achieve success.

Keynote Topics

Keynote #1 : Be 1% Better!

In this energizing and practical keynote based on his book Be 1 Percent Better, Ron Clark shares simple, achievable strategies that help educators thrive even when they feel exhausted or overwhelmed. He reminds teachers that they do not need massive bursts of inspiration to make meaningful progress. They only need small, consistent choices that move them forward one percent at a time. Through realistic habits and mindset shifts that can be implemented immediately, Ron offers an honest and uplifting message that restores purpose, joy, and momentum in the classroom.

Keynote #2 : Move Your Bus! Keys to productivity, motivation and success in the workplace!

Teamwork is crucial to the success of any business, and as acclaimed author and speaker Ron Clark illustrates, the members of any team are the key to unlocking success. Imagine a company as a bus filled with people who either help or hinder a team’s ability to move it forward: drivers (who steer the organization), runners (who consistently go above and beyond for the good of the organization), joggers (who do their jobs without pushing themselves), walkers (who are just getting pulled along), and riders (who hinder success and drag the team down). It’s the team leader’s job to recognize how members fall into these categories, encourage them to keep the “bus” moving by working together, and know when it’s time to kick the riders off.

In the tradition of Who Moved My Cheese? and Fish!, Move Your Bus is an accessible and uplifting business parable that illustrates Clark’s expert strategies to maximize the performance of each member of a team. These easy to implement techniques will inspire employees and team leaders alike to work harder and smarter and drive the organization to succeed.

Keynote #3 : Reboot, Reset and Elevate!

Professionals in the scholarship and education sectors have navigated immense change in recent years—but in this dynamic and passionate keynote, Ron Clark delivers a powerful blend of inspiration, data-driven strategies, and innovative techniques that will energize and empower attendees. Drawing from real-world experiences and engaging stories, Ron shares proven methods to help organizations better support students, adapt to emerging trends, and elevate their impact. Attendees will walk away motivated, equipped with practical tools, and ready to reboot, reset, and elevate their approach to student success.
