Inquiry And Innovation In The Classroom: Using 20% Time, Genius Hour, And PBL To Drive Student Success (Eye On Education)

Careers in the 21st century are changing, but traditional education methods are not preparing students for these new jobs and demands. In this thought-provoking book, esteemed educator A.J. Juliani describes how we need to modify our classrooms to instill in students the drive for inquiry and innovation that they will need to succeed beyond school doors. Juliani reveals the ways that teachers can use Google’s 20% Time, Genius Hour, and Project-Based Learning to make students more creative, inquisitive, engaged in learning, and self-motivated―the kind of people we need to move society forward! He offers easy ways to implement these ideas while meeting the Common Core and still allowing plenty of time for content instruction. Special Features: Research on the benefits of inquiry-based learning Connections to the Common Core State Standards Stories and examples from the field Exciting ideas for using 20% Time, Genius Hour, and PBL at various grade levels Tips for preparing parents and administration for your new instruction Ideas for expanding your knowledge and continually learning in this area Classroom applications for each chapter, including sample projects and resources Bonus content with reproducible materials that you can use in your classroom right now, such as student checklists, questions, lessons, and unit plans As Juliani emphasizes, if we want our students to change the world, we must change our classrooms to foster inquiry and innovation.

IF you are a teacher, then this book has been written to challenge the way you think about teaching. We as teachers need to teach our students the valuable lesson of learning to love learning through curiosity and creativity. This book gives you a wonderful guide on how to turn the table on time spent in the classroom. well worth the read. Convicting.

I loved the approachable, conversational tone of this, mixed with the practical, clearly visible applications in actual classrooms. This makes for a book that is both accessible to teachers just beginning inquiry-based instruction and those who are veterans along this journey and need a few more ideas. I highly recommend this for anyone thinking about 20% time, independent projects, or inquiry-based lessons.

This book outlines how to run genius hour in your classroom. I am a fourth grade teacher and it helped me! I know all the logistics of how to run genius hour, how to grade it, how to oversee it, introduce it, etc. I feel ready except for printables. However, I know exactly what needs to be on the printables, which is great.

Very inspirational book on bringing inquiry and innovation into the classroom. I am an elementary teacher and even though this book was geared toward high school, I took a lot out of this book.

This book inspired me to create a blog. I am implementing Genius Hour in my classroom this year and plan to blog about my students ideas! Thank you!

Excellent ideas on how to motivate the internal desire for learning.

This is a great resource if you are a teacher.
