During this session teachers will hear about a successful implementation of Genius Hour with 8th graders where students were given the overarching topic of the U.N. Global Goals but had choice in what they wanted to work on. This culminated in an evening presentation to parents and the community. Teachers will be given a road map on how to implement their own Genius Hour and will be given time to work on it. This project would work well for any English, social studies, science, or STEM class.
