What is Genius Hour?
Genius Hour is a time when students are allowed to explore topics that interest them the most. The instructional focus of Genius Hour is much more about the process of exploration than the content. Students are tasked with researching their topics of interest and teachers help guide their research more through questions than direct learning/content delivery. Students have the freedom to access resources and people in the building who can help with the topic they’ve chosen.
