SUMMARY:Resilient Classroom Series: The A’s to Z’s of Teaching Gen Z
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, November 20\n2–3 p.m.\nKillam Library\, Room B400*\nLink to register for the event (opens in new window)\n“If we teach today’s students as we taught yesterday’s\, we rob them of tomorrow.” – John Dewey\, American education reformer\n\nBack by popular demand: Gen Z in the Classroom! Have you recently found yourself saying “Back in my day\, students used to be like…” or “I just don’t understand students anymore!”? Generation Z is the largest cohort demographic on university campuses today. More than any other generation\, this group of students has faced lightning-speed changes in society and technology\, and have been heavily “shaped by the advancement of technology\, issues of violence\, a volatile economy\, and social justice movements” (Seemiller & Grace\, 2017). As a part of the Resilient Classroom Series\, this session will help you adapt your teaching to better align with Gen Z’s unique motivations\, goals\, skillsets\, and social concerns. In this in-person session\, you will learn:\n\nCommon characteristics and learning preferences of Gen Z students.\nStrategies to adapt your course design and assessments to better support and teach Gen Z students.  \n\nTo help you take what you learn from this session to your classroom\, we will collectively brainstorm strategies to use in the Gen Z classroom. In addition\, you will develop a preliminary plan for how you can adapt one student assessment or course design aspect to better suit your Gen Z students.\nPresenter\nDaniella Sieukaran\, MA (she/her)\nSenior Educational Developer (Program Development)\nIntended Audience\n\nGraduate Students\nInstructors (all)\nTAs/Markers/Demonstrators\n\nAdditional Information: *Please note that the B400 classroom is in the basement of the Killam Library.
