Daniel Bergman

Daniel J. Bergman (Ph.D., human sciences, class of 2007) released his debut book, “Teaching Is for Superheroes!” in summer 2023. Using a dynamic, comic-book-inspired layout, “Teaching Is for Superheroes!” (Jossey-Bass/Wiley) unpacks the teacher-as-superhero metaphor to help new, veteran, AND future educators analyze their purpose and pedagogy. Readers will reflect on “origin stories” and gain ideas for surviving the first year; navigating social media; interacting with students, parents, and colleagues; using “gadgets” in the classroom; harnessing teacher “superpowers;” and even dressing for teaching success. Bergman is a professor and program chair of science education at Wichita State University’s School of Education. For more details, visit www.DanielJBergman.com and www.TeachingIsForSuperheroes.com!
