Ron Clark, the 2000 Disney American Teacher of the Year,  Ed Barlow, president of Creating the Future, and Robert J. Marzano, leading researcher and author, will keynote the 2009 Annual Conference at Austin, Texas, Dec. 2-5.

Clark, whose work with disadvantaged students in rural North Carolina and in inner city Harlem gained international attention, was the subject of the made-for-TV movie, “The Ron Clark Story” with Matthew Perry playing the lead role. He has been named by Oprah Winfrey as her first “Phenomenal Man.” When Disney discontinued sponsorship of the Teacher of the Year program, AESA Business Partner Great American Financial Resources became the program sponsor. Great American Financial Resources is sponsoring Clark's appearance at the Annual Conference.

He is a speaker, trainer, and author of more than 30 books and 150 articles on topics such as instruction, assessment, writing and implementing standards, cognition, effective leadership, and school intervention. Among his books are Designing & Teaching Learning Goals & Objectives, District Leadership That Works, Designing & Assessing Educational Objectives, Making Standards Useful in the Classroom, and The Art and Science of Teaching.
