Review :
"I have been teaching for 40 years and know that what C. Bobbi Hansen writes about are truly superpowers for a teacher to possess. Teachers will instantly change the success rate in their classrooms if they implement these practices. It offers practical suggestions for increasing student achievement." "Today’s busy teachers will find this ′lighthearted′ format appealing, though it’s packed with practical strategies emanating from a solid research base. When put to use, the ten categories of superpowers is sure to optimize student outcomes across the curriculum and at all grade levels." "This book directly applies to the needs of teachers in today’s classrooms. One can instantly apply a few of the strategies recommended instantly in their classroom without requiring hours of preparation, and continue exploring how to build one’s practice as they build familiarity with additional understandings of the superpowers. This book will be a game changer for immediate transformation in a teacher’s classroom."
