They don’t have the cape or the flashy tights, but educators are rising to a superhero challenge every single day. Often, we take them for granted. But few people have such an impact on all of our lives, and the lives of our children, as educators.

ClassroomSuperheroes.com is a project of the National Education Association. It allows parents, students, and community members to show educators the support they deserve.

If you haven’t already, please check out the introductory video on the homepage. Then nominate your classroom superheroes (or, if you are an educator, go ahead and register). Once your superheroes have created their profiles, please leave comments, post videos, and share with your friends through Facebook.

It’s a simple gesture to encourage those individuals who work tirelessly towards our childrens’ future.
