Reflection 16: My Superpower

Sometimes I feel like just the requirements and expectations of educators require a teaching to be a superpower! This feels like a wish from a genie....how do you choose wisely and not waste your wish? Because I believe that success in education begins with building relationship, I would want my superpower to be CONNECTION. This could be used in so many ways. Knowing what to connect with students based upon their interests, passions, personality and needs can change apathetic students into enthusiastic learners, non-readers into readers and apathetic students into leaders. Truly, I think that this is a reflection of my job responsibilities as library media specialist and IB DP Coordinator. I have to connect through relationships; connect students to books and information; and connect students to appropriate pathways.
