Self Assessment of Genius Hour Traits

Hi everyone!

I just wanted to quickly share a new resource that Denise Krebs and I put together. This is the new rubric that we are using for Genius Hour. We hope you like it and find it useful to use with your students!

FYI, I don't focus on each characteristic with each session of Genius Hour, but rather I have had students reflect on a couple at a time. But you could use all of it at once--totally up to you! You know your students best!

We use the acronym G.E.N.I.U.S.  H.O.U.R. to spell out these Genius Hour characteristics:
