From a New York Times bestselling author and Disney's “Teacher of the Year” comes a road map to enrich students' learning experiences, revised and updated for today’s teachers and parents.

“Valuable and thought-provoking.” ―Publishers Weekly

After publishing The Essential 55 (over 1 million copies sold), award-winning teacher Ron Clark took his rules on the road and traveled to schools and districts in 50 states.

These are the eleven qualities he describes in The Excellent 11: Enthusiasm, Adventure, Creativity, Reflection, Balance, Compassion, Confidence, Humor, Common Sense, Appreciation, and Resilience.

Ron has filled this book with hundreds of suggestions, stories, and wonderfully funny anecdotes. You’ll be smiling as you read—and finding the inspiration to change lives, one student at a time.
