Since educators have the power to transform lives and provide tremendous hope, the superhero analogy is well-suited. With superior skills and success, SUPERHERO EDUCATORS make the world a better place. To gain SUPERHERO EDUCATOR status, novel training and learning must occur. We evaluated educators in both urban and non-urban environments over the past two decades, and identifiable qualities for successful teaching surfaced repeatedly. After countless conversations and observations, contemplating what characterizes great teachers, we coined the term SUPERHERO EDUCATORS. Every successful teacher has special "powers" and puts those powers into practice on a daily basis. This book provides the blueprint for teachers to become true SUPERHERO EDUCATORS.

Experienced teachers will be able to refine their teaching talents and learn novel ways to grow professionally.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Considering a variety of female superhero narratives, including World War II-era Wonder Woman comics, the 1970s television programs The Secrets of Isis and The Bionic Woman, and the more recent Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Education and the Female Superhero: Slayers, Cyborgs, Sorority Sisters, and Schoolteachers argues that they share a vision of education as the path to female empowerment. In his analysis, Andrew L. Grunzke examines female superheroes who are literally teachers or students, exploring examples of female superheroes whose alter egos work as schoolteachers or attend school during the workday and fight evildoers when they are outside the classroom. Taking a broader view of education, Grunzke argues that the superheroine in popular media often sees and articulates her own role as being an educator. In these narratives, female superheroes often take it upon themselves to teach self-defense tactics, prevent victimization, and encourage people (especially female victims) to pursue formal education. Moreover, Grunzke shows how superheroines tend to see their relationship with their adversaries as rehabilitative and educative, trying to set them on the correct path rather than merely subdue or dominate them.

Book excerpt: Ten-year-old Addie knows that Superheroes aren't real, and that they certainly don't hide out in retirement communities, but she may just have to change her mind. Addie and her mom never stay in one place too long. They've been up and down and all around the country. When her mom, Tish, gets a new job at Happy Valley Village Retirement Community in Pennsylvania, Addie believes they'll be on the road again in a month. But this time, something is different--make that, someone. Mr. Norris, a grumpy resident of Happy Valley and. . .a former superhero? Well, that's what Marwa, whose mom also works at Happy Valley, would try and have Addie believe. Addie and her friend Dickson know better even if there are things they can't explain. Like the time Mr. Norris was about to get hit by a car and was suddenly on the other side of the road or the way his stare seems to take root in Addie's stomach. When a man starts prowling the Happy Valley grounds, claiming to be the great-nephew of a resident, Addie, Marwa, and Dickson soon stumble into a grand conspiracy involving the Manhattan Project, a shady weapons company, and the fate of the human race, in this smart, funny middle grade novel.

Book excerpt: Based on an ethnographic study in an urban classroom of 7- to 9-year olds, Writing Superheroes examines how young school children use popular culture, especially superhero stories, in the unofficial peer social world and in the official school literacy curriculum. In one sense, the book is about children "writing superheroes"-about children appropriating superhero stories in their fiction writing and dramatic play on the playground and in the classroom. These stories offer children identities as powerful people who do battle against evil and win. The stories, however, also reveal limiting ideological assumptions about relations between people-boys and girls, adults and children, people of varied heritages, physical demeanors, and social classes. The book, then, is also about children as "writing superheroes." With the assistance of their teacher, the observed children became superheroes of another sort, able to take on powerful cultural storylines. In this book, Anne Dyson examines how the children's interest in and conflicts about commercial culture give rise to both literacy and social learning, including learning how to participate in a community of differences.

My Teacher Is A Superhero is about a Super Teacher who teaches and motivates students to reach their highest potential.

In this book there are even more questions than the ones that are on the front cover. There are many insights into a number of topics along with an entertaining educational story. Learning can be fun. This book provides you with a unique way to reflect, think about your life and all the dynamics, and the future. You can answer some of the questions The Super Teacher asks very easily and others you will have to ponder upon. After The Super Teacher asks you a question there will be additional information about the subject. Questions can be common or uncommon. The common questions are the ones that you have been asked many times. You can answer them easily because you're already prepared. If you're asked your name you will be able to say it right away. You have memorized your name and no longer have to think about it. The same goes for your address or birthday. When you're asked a common question such as how are you doing? Then you have to give more thought because your answer could vary each time. Uncommon questions are the ones you're only asked once in awhile or it's the first time you're being asked. More time has to be spent on an uncommon question because you might still be trying to figure out an answer. Have you ever heard someone say, that's a good question? When someone is making a statement like that, they're really saying, "I'm going to think about the question." This book is to encourage you to think and build your self confidence in answering questions. This can help prepare you for questions that you're asked daily. You can share what is going on in your life without having to reveal something personable by having it made public. Certain things in your life can be kept private but still be expressed. You can have an interactive experience where you're able to participate and answer questions from The Super Teacher. You can choose the way you want to answer them. Be creative and have fun. The Super Teacher wants you to do well in life.
