Hey teachers! Welcome back to Teacher Business Buzz, the only daily business show just for teachers. This week, we’ve been exploring how to recognize the clues to your superpower—your specialized knowledge or skill set that you can teach others and turn into a profitable business idea. If you haven’t caught all five parts of this series, be sure to check them out!

Episode Highlights:

• Meet Your Host: Tiffiny Webster, co-founder of TeacherBusiness.com, with 25 years of experience as a K12 teacher and administrator, and former K-8 principal who rebuilt a program from the ground up, shares her journey of discovering her superpower.

• Building a Community: Tiffiny recounts her experience creating a successful hybrid educational program with strong parent-teacher-student relationships. This unique dynamic showed her the value of building community and supporting parents as educational partners.

3 Clues to Discover Your Superpower:

1. Who You Can Bring Together:

• Identify the group you naturally gather and support. Whether it’s your math department, art teachers, or educators with a shared interest, the group you rally can point to your superpower.

• Example: Tiffiny found she could build connections between teachers and parents, creating a supportive educational community.

2. Gravitation Toward Mastery:

• Notice what you’re constantly refining and improving. What do you practice repeatedly, creating methods and systems to perfect?

• Example: Tiffiny honed her leadership and community-building skills, which became a core part of her superpower.

3. Getting Results:

• Pay attention to where you see results for yourself or others. Successful outcomes are strong indicators of your specialized skill set.

• Example: Tiffiny’s ability to cultivate a thriving school community showed her that this was a valuable part of her superpower.

Bonus Clue:

• Creating a Self-Sustaining Community:

• If the group you gather starts to form relationships, support each other, and collaborate without your constant prompting, you’ve built something truly powerful. This shows you’ve created a community that enhances the lives of its members.

Recap:

• Identify Who You Can Bring Together: Look for the group you connect with and support.

• Mastery Matters: What do you naturally practice and perfect?

• Results Speak Volumes: Observe the outcomes of your efforts for yourself and others.

• Bonus: A thriving community that supports itself is a major clue that community-building is part of your superpower.
