Matteson, A. (2016). It’s genius: Understanding genius hour
and making it rock at your school. School
Library Journal 62(10), 36-38.
This is a very comprehensive article about genius hour.
Matteson discusses how genius hour is time set aside for student-driven
research, where it’s not about tests but exploration. Since students get to
choose their learning path, they are much more motivated. The teacher has the
students check in and is available to help students through the learning
process. Through exploration, failure may occurs, but it is welcome and support
is available.
I highly recommend this article because it is very
comprehensive and you will walk away with an understanding of what genius hour
is and ideas of how to incorporate it into your classroom.
