Hi Kathie. Now that IS a superpower for sure. I think the only concise way to put it is Wonder Woman!!

One of my superpowers (I know we're supposed to pick one) is getting high school students who have learning and attitude challenges to be productive in the English classroom. I'm not sure how to shorten that, but if I wasn't so exhausted from all that superhero work today, I might be able to.

It requires the use of many skills simultaneously: concise knowledge of the reading or writing goal (big and small picture), empathy for the individual student's challenges, careful listening and careful observation. Add to that a huge bag of tricks to choose from at any given moment and the belief that this is very important work. Oh yes, and patience and humor. How would I say that more concisely?
