The library operates on a fixed schedule with a good mix of flexible time to book in classes for collaboration. Over the last two years we have moved to more of a project based learning approach, with a heavy focus on things like student choice and Genius Hour.
Students visit the library once a week for 45 minutes. We do mini lessons over big ideas and engage in a great deal of self directed learning.
I'm working on revising a snapshot of what our curriculum looks like.

ReplyDeleteI am a first year elementary librarian. I have attempted to implement Genius Hour, but it's been overwhelming. Would you be willing to offer suggestions, timelines, etc.?
