Are you looking for inquiry and innovation in your classroom?

If you are looking to add inquiry and innovation to programs within your sphere of influence you need this book. Inquiry and Innovation in the Classroom: Using 20% Time, Genius Hour, and PBL to Drive Student Success by A. J. Juliani (buy it) is both enlightening and instructive for the important work of giving students voice and choice in their learning. Together with Daniel Pink’s Drive, this book was an essential resource for toward the creation of Project AMP for my Biology 12 students.

Pink’s Drive inspired me to make changes to my instructional practices (blog post). It provided me with my why of instructional change. Juliani’s Inquiry and Innovation in the Classroom gave me the support I needed to plan for these big changes. It provided me with the how of instructional change, and ultimately professional growth. Complete with a suggested program schedule, it really helped me to understand what could work within the constraints of my school’s semester system. Thanks for reading!

    1. I am current in the throes of rereading “Instructional Coaching” by Jim Knight. “Unmistakable Impact” by the same author is on deck. How about you, Joy?

  1. Love love love Genius Hour! A.J. Juliani has also written a book on PBL, titled The PBL Playbook! It’s full of great PBL projects across the grades – Our Grade 2’s were featured in it with their Mouse Library project we created last year.
