Great Teachers are Not Rock Stars
Posted on September 27, 2015 by Bernard Bull
Great teachers are not rock stars. Rock stars take the center stage. It is all about them. They garner and thrive on the praise of their fans. The focus is on the rock star’s performance. This is the exact opposite of what we need in education. Education is about student performance. Great teachers help the students be their best on the stage of life. They shine the spotlight on the students. The best teachers are far more interested in giving than getting praise, and they are not in it to get a following of student fans.
Teachers matter, but we are not the center…at least we should not be the center.
