Imagine a classroom where passion-driven genius work is not extracurricular, but is a part of the routine. Students are invited and expected to collaborate to support each other’s genius; to experiment with ideas, discover new possibilites and make epic things happen. Genius Hour is more than a “program” where students do fun projects together. Genius Hour is a nearly unprecedented opportunity for teachers to guide students in how to be effective learners and citizens, by helping them connect what they do in school to the broader community. It’s our job to nurture our geniuses so they can change the world. Join us today to unlock a world of genuine curiosity and wonder. -This e-book is for teachers and administrators, lessons could be used in all classrooms and be differentiated accordingly. -Whole class lessons, small group lessons, whole school lessons
