Meet Your Instructor

Hi - I'm A.J. Juliani and I've spent the last two decades as a teacher, instructional coach, and administrator in K-12 classrooms trying to figure out what gets kids motivated to learn. After years of doing one-off projects with my students at the end of units (with limited success), I started a true project-based learning experience and it rocked my world as a teacher -- seeing my students fully engaged and committed to the learning process was something I'll never take for granted!

In 2012 I released Inquiry & Innovation in the Classroom. It followed years of work leading workshops on Genius Hour, 20% Time Projects, and Inquiry-based learning in schools around the world.

Today I'm sharing all my Genius Hour experience, resources, and secrets in this program so you can do the same with your learners in 1/100th the time!
