Star Teachers: Myth or Reality?

This weeks topic touched on the validty of Star Teachers. Do they exist? What qualifies someone as a Star Teacher? According to the reading, these teachers do exist and they are those who go above and beyond the traditional actions of a teacher. In my personal opinion, these types of teachers do exist and they are always parts of our educational lives. To me, Star Teachers, are the ones you remember. By remember, I don't just mean their names. I mean the ones that showed you compassion or gave you an extra hand when others brushed you aside.

I think the idea of Star Teachers can be applied to our everyday lives. There are "Star" people in every facet of life. I learned recently that in medicine there are Star Nurses who go the extra mile for every patient they come into contact with. You probably have "Star" people in your life. These are the ones you can call at any hour of the night, who will drop everything for you and make the difference that effects your life long term. I hope everyone appreciates the "Star" people in their lives. Have a great spring break!
