Nation’s Top Teacher Resigning Over Common Core Here in my home in Lorain County, Ohio, people were thrilled to see one of our own teachers in the running for the search for America’s Top Teacher by the Live with Kelly and Michael show. Stacie Starr was nominated by a grateful parent: “Please consider Stacie Starr for your contest. She is the hardest working, most selfless woman I have ever had the pleasure of knowing,” Verlotti wrote to close out the letter that detailed her son’s struggles after a diagnosis at age 3 of Asperger syndrome and how it affected his school life. Starr was already known within the district as a top teacher. She started a boys group and personally mentored a group of at-risk boys. She said the highlight of her career was “the moment – watching those young men who started out as a group of at-risk boys walk across the stage to finish their high school careers with diplomas in hand – that let her know her job as a teacher had purpose.” Leave a Reply Cancel ReplyYou must be logged in to post a comment.
