We know that to be an expert on anything you need time spent investigating and exploring what excites you. We also know that in school students don't always have the time to really explore what they are passionate about... what they would do if they could do ANYTHING...
ENTER Genius Hour.
We launched our Genius Hour projects this week providing time for the students to explore ANYTHING they wanted, in order to start building some of those skills and ideas that they will need for the future. We want them to become experts in an area that they love.
It was incredible today, at the end of Genius Hour, that students were initiating their own conversations about learning. We are calling this our #DidYouKnow time. Time spent celebrating what is possible when students drive learning forward.
So go ahead... ask your child what they learned today.
