Through personalized exploration and hands-on activities, you'll unearth innovative strategies to infuse your classroom with excitement and authenticity, reigniting your love for teaching and learning.

Perspective Expansion: Open your mind to new possibilities and challenge the status quo. The Genius Hour Academy will encourage you to think outside the box, embrace diverse viewpoints, and adopt a fresh perspective that will empower you to unleash the full potential of yourself and your students.

Academy Creator and Adventure Guide

Andi McNair

 

I'm Andi McNair and I almost left education when I realized that what I was doing in the classroom wasn't meaningful for my learners.

I had to take a risk, do something different, push against the status quo to do what I knew my learners needed...time to make connections, learn by doing, and just explore.

Was it easy? Absolutely not!  Was it worth it?  Absolutely!  And now, I want to share what I've learned along the way with you.  

Since that crucial moment, I've written four books, including Genius Hour: Passion Projects that Ignite Innovation and Student Inquiry, shared with educators all over the world, and launched A Meaningful Mess Podcast.

And now, I'm setting out to change what professional learning looks like.  I can't wait to get to know you as we spend two days exploring, learning, connecting and sharing.  It's going to be an ABSOLUTE BLAST!
