Do you have supersonic senses, the ability to hear a backpack unzipping across the room or smell a forgotten lunch days before the ham goes bad?
Or maybe you’re more of a curriculum ninja, sneaking standards into activities the way parents sneak carrots into mac and cheese?
Perhaps you’re the Master of Tact, the one who can find something nice to say about any project, colleague, or assembly.

My superpower is to be optimistic about every student no matter how hopeless others may see their case. I come to school every day believing that every student has the potential to make great choices and to improve his/her behavior. Whatever happened yesterday, is wiped clean from my slate when I see that student. (I work in an alternative school program for students with social-emotional disorders.)
My superpower is that I am passionate about teaching and I love being at school helping my kiddos learn!
My superpower is the ability to stay calm even when a student is out of control and screaming. I’ve learned not to take abusive speech, hurled in the heat of the moment, personally. Staying clam helps to deescalate a situation.
My super powers is having Christ in my life… He is in control.
Amennn!!!
I would love the superpower to grade all papers in a matter of minutes!
My superpower is empathy because I try to put myself in my students’ shoes so that I can help them feel good about themselves every day.
My teaching superpower is creating learning activities for all levels and specific learning needs. Even though early childhood is my speciality, I happily create activities for any teachers whose students need different learning activities in order to be successful.
My superpower is forming community within the classroom through laughter, hard work, and empathy.
My teaching superpower is having eyes in the back of my head, It is amazing how I can tell what 25 kids are doing when I turn my back!
My superpower is making the kiddos laugh and learn at the same time. Teaching is fun and when you create laughter kids pay attention. Some days I can’t even remember my name and the kids love to correct me so they stay focused on what I am teaching
My teaching superpower is the ability to deliver bad news to the Kindergarten student’s parents and let them leave smiling with solid ideas on how to help their child at home.
My super power is that I am a great listener. This helps me to figure out exactly what each child needs,
Knowing which student it is without turning around.
My super power would have to be flexibility. Having to manage a classroom of students in multiple grades with varying disabilities and keep them on task with engaging activities that meet their individual goals is challenging yet so rewarding!
Sharing my curiosity and love of learning with others
I can spot a behavior, deal with it and continue right on with my lesson without taking a breath.
We had a superhero day just last week and I asked all the kids what they would want for a super power. When they asked what mine would be I said I would like to have eight arms that were super stretchy so I could more children at a time and reach them no matter were I was in the room. This got some laughter as they were picturing it.
Google Forms with embedded videos, that give students immediate feedback i.e. 12 of 15 correct.
Surviving until the end of the school year????
Humor, my 5th graders love that I say funny unexpected or even “hip” things…(like a dork of course) my 24 year old son keeps me current and my kids love that I act like I am a hipster in the dorkiest of ways. <3
My super powers would be being able to make a crazy amount of copies during my plan time and finding teaching resources like a boss.
My teaching superpower is believing that all of my students can succeed and working as not just a teacher but also as a cheerleader to help them to learn to believe in themselves.
Anticipating questions before they’re asked! ????POW!????
My super power is putting together a theme based lesson across the curriculum.One of the biggest hits is The Farm. The children love milking the cow, making butter& ice cream, and doing egg experiments. They always have so much fun they don’t realize they’re learning. LOL!
My super power, if that is what you want to call it, is a bit unusual to some people. I worked law enforcement for sixteen years and when I went back to school I decided instead of becoming a juvenile judge I should work with the children at an early age and try to keep them out of the system. I teach 2-5 year old children. We studied space, including planets and man landing on the Moon and these young children made a poster board with planets, aliens, rockets, a man and the American flag on the Moon, stars, comets and asteroids. Not only did they do this, they learned and remembered. The same goes with the dinosaurs. I told the children about the long nap the dinosaurs took and one of the little girls said “They died didn’t they?” I just replied “Yes.” Children are so smart, smarter then any adult I know. Ask yourself, how much have we learned in the past five years and how much has a child learned in the past five years, from birth to five? To keep the children from eating sweets before their sandwich I told them how the Chinese eat sweets after their meal. I may have superpowers but these children are each a Superhero.
The ability to always say the right thing (Wish)
Baby whisperer (skill)
My superpower is quieting the class with just a look. They see my face and immediately know to stop talking.
my super power is to be have the patience to work all year around
My superpower wish is to have my classroom miraculously decorated and ready to start the school year without me lifting a finger and, OF COURSE, the classroom miraculously cleaned up at the end of the year as well. WHAT A NICE DREAM!
My superpower is that I will do what ever I need to do to make sure that my students are learning.
My ability is to stay calm during stressful situations. It is not always easy, but I try.
