 Baltimore County super-teacher Kelly Ronson goes above and beyond in her classroom. Ms. Ronson makes a point to know each student on a personal level and hosts “lunch bunches” in her classroom to learn about them as children not just students. Cultivating an open learning space, Kelly's classroom provides a relaxed atmosphere where students feel encouraged
to take risks and rally around one another when they face shortcomings. Learn more about MPT's "American Graduate Champion" Ms. Ronson and get inspired to branch out in your own classroom.
