The following are a collection of handouts to support Genius Hour in your classroom from Alison Grieg.

This resource contains 9 lessons to get Genius Hour off the ground in your classroom.

This is a safe way to give Genius Hour a try The kids just simply start by picking 4 areas of interest, narrowing their choice down, using a think tank to help solve problems and doing a very basic PowerPoint on their topic choice. THEN you can go for it and actually have them do it when you feel ready!

Conferencing with kids during Genius Hour is a game changer. Use this editable template (I suggest kids even fill it out before they meet you if they are capable) to help students project plan and meet their deadlines! This build in accountability to Genius Hour.
