GENIUS Hour

Presentation  to staff meeting 5/8/16 Caroline Marsh from Christ College.
Process of Genius Hour
Staff shared ideas
Next steps- Music/Drama shared yr 10 slot to spend 1 day a week next term on a trial Genius Hour [Arts presentation] I think I will give the Whanau Class a Maori poem to interpret as they see fit [play/lighting design/music/dance/set design]
Define genius [Latin]- to create
Students who want to learn and have fun learning: the WHY of project based learning. How can I trial this with 7/8Wh next term - 1 hour. Share video and prezis with examples to engage class, Can work alone or in 2's or 3's.Sounds like learn-create-share. Need to co-construct the success criteria. I liked the 10 Principles. Links well with community or future problem solving. They shared new skills, eg: garage band. Checkpoints. Own time learning. Structured framework- checkpoints/timeframes.
In set up-talked with parents and asked that the boys were left to do their own project.
Assessment- oral language [English] based. cmarsh@christcollege.com.
