Your students have interests and passions. What if you could give them a little structured time each week, say an hour, to explore those passions? What if in the process you could see a huge leap in student engagement, creativity, collaboration, and achievement of content standards? This amazing idea is known as Genius Hour or 20% time and began in the tech industry and is now changing classrooms all over the world. In this workshop, we will learn how to implement Genius Hour in any classroom. You will leave with tools that you can use to launch Genius Hour successfully.
