APS teachers were challenged to videotape a creative, academically rigorous lesson happening in their classroom and describe the video and the learning that took place. From the submissions, four teachers and one administrator were selected to visit the Ron Clark Academy on Dec.8-9, 2016. This blog tells the story of the challenge the teachers accepted and the trip to Atlanta, Georgia!

Student Engagement
The most important component of the Ron Clark Academy you ask? Student engagement. All teachers aren't singers, table walkers and dancers. But, all teachers have skills that can be utilized to engage students. Successful teaching isn't about standing in front of a room and students consuming the content that is delivered. Successful teaching must include fluid content delivery, rigor and a conscience effort to engage students. How do you engage your students?
