Workshop 1809

TITLE:

Genius Hour in the Classroom

DESCRIPTION:

Genius hour is a movement that allows students to explore their own passions and encourages creativity in the classroom. It provides students a choice in what they learn during a set period of time during school. Teachers learn to utilize their student's passions to teach research skills, public speaking skills, and the love of learning. See how I introduced genius hour in my classroom and take away ideas on how you can implement it in your own classroom.
