Description
Being an educator for G/T students takes heart and hard work; but no matter how much work you put in, the real key is to make it meaningful to your students. If students can’t connect with what they’re learning, you’re wasting your valuable time and theirs. Genius hour is a creative, hands-on project that is guaranteed to make that connection! Learn how genius hour can get even your most reticent student excited and engaged.
This course will give you:
- Key elements of a dynamic genius hour
- Examples of genius hour projects
- Helpful resources for you and your students
- Tips to set up your classroom for genius hour

It gave a lot of great ideas to implement to the identified GT, but I think it’s also important to remember that even those who aren’t “identified” have gifts and talents too and should be able to participate in this program.
