Unleashing Student Superpowers

Written by two dynamic educational leaders, this book provides elementary school teachers with strategies to unleash the learning superpowers of students that foster inquiry-based, student-driven classrooms. The student learning superpowers Swanson describes are:

• Wondering
• Developing
• Designing
• Digital Inking
• Seeking
• Advising

Swanson provides easy to use frameworks and examples that are aligned to the Common Core Standards for Reading, Writing, Speaking, and Listening, the Next Generation Science Standards and the National Curriculum Standards for Social Standards. The book is filled with practical instructional frameworks about 2-3 weeks long that teachers can use to promote student superpowers. The superpowers and frameworks help students see connections between ideas and disciplines and lead to student-driven success.
