ABSTRACT

Students take pictures and choose the best of the day for our movie updates for parents. Students can write in response to a prompt of their choice, as long as they write in relation to our goal or focus for the day. As Joykirr explains so well, Genius Hour was the catalyst for her shift in teaching philosophy. Robyn Thiessen also feels like Genius Hour has changed her as an educator. Genius Hour is an experience to develop new ideas. Genius Hour is an amazing program in which students can follow their passions for a whole free period and then using their unique passions and skill sets to make the world a better place, all while creating a lasting impression.
