From Generation Z to Generation Alpha, today’s students are different — let’s get to know them.
For two decades, our team of writers and researchers has been investigating the needs of students. From research papers, nationwide surveys, and our own focus groups, we’ve gathered fascinating information that can help your educators gain a deeper understanding of the kids in their classroom.
While this information will be interesting, we know that knowledge without insight is a waste of time for teachers with a long to-do list. That’s why our sessions are designed to turn our academic knowledge into actionable insights your staff will be able to use in their very next student interaction.
Our Next-Gen professional development sessions cover a range of topics including:
- The latest data on Generation Z and Gen Alpha
- Practical ideas for leading today’s student
- How to help students dealing with stress and anxiety
- Actionable ideas for how to handle smartphones and social media
