Illuminating FOUR (or More?) Powers of FANTASTIC Teachers!
Thursday May 28, 2026 10:00am - 11:30am CDT
Room 519
In this interactive session, we will explore traits of effective teaching through the lens of Marvel’s Fantastic Four superhero team.  Participants will compare “powers” of these fictional heroes with key educational elements, including all FOUR conference strands: Curiosity, Commitment, Connection, and Clarity. Activities include analysis of multimedia examples (video clips, images), small group reflection and discussion, interactive online surveys and games (e.g. Poll Everywhere, Kahoot!), and more! Practical applications and additional resources provided!
