The Oxford American Dictionary of Current English defines talent as a “special aptitude or faculty.” If you are ever in a room with 10 or more people, ask them to take out a piece of paper and a pencil and take a quick pop poll of sorts. Ask them to write the name of the first person that comes to mind when you say the word “talent.” Usually eight or nine of the people will name an athlete, musician, singer, author or someone with high visibility. Very few people will name a teacher. Now ask that same group to name a person who has had a significant impact on their life. Now chances are good you may get several people who will actually name a teacher. When asked what that teacher did to stand out in his or her mind, the person is likely to describe someone who fits the definition of talent. Wouldn’t it be great if every student who goes through your school systems would list at least one teacher as having a significant impact on their life?
