I like your video presentation of this weeks blog that you did. It is a nice change to listen to your comments instead of reading them. I also like how you did provide a written section at the bottom of your video for those visual learners. Is this by your home? I would love to be by a beach!
I couldn’t agree with you more about how no matter what there will always be struggling students. How neat if there really could be a lot of teachers out there that did struggle in school to help motivate those that are struggling. They could easily relate to them. What a great analogy the starfish story is. Thank goodness there are some of those great teachers that do take on the challenge of undergoing those struggling students and make them succeed.

Starfish Story
The starfish story reminds me of my district’s approach to the student who is struggling to learn in school. The starfish would be the struggling students, and the young girl would be the great teacher. There are always going to be large numbers of struggling students, and the defeated and tired out teacher might wonder if all their efforts are worth it since some of these students will always fall behind. The great teacher accepts the challenge to try to advance these students and without a doubt tries their hardest to reach their goal. If everyone remembers the starfish story when they are having doubts and concerns about their efforts to lesson the gap, then the amount of great teachers will be on the rise. Remember it is the innocent child who needs the support and motivation to make it back to sea.
