Late Boomers and Early Xers Gave
  Birth to Generation Next (civic)
The Echo Boom/Millennials…
•The Millennials are the children born between 1982 and
2002 (peaked in 1990), a cohort called by various names:
•The Millennials are almost as large as the baby
(approximately 81 million, civic).

                   Generation Y                    Echo Boom

     Millennials                  Net Generation
Things Began to Change for This Generation
 • Abortion rates peaked in 1980 and began a slow
   decline.
 • Poverty rate for children peaked in 1983 and began
   a slow decline (Medicaid began).
 • US divorce rate peaked in 1981 and began a decline.
 • Homicide rate against children peaked in 1982 and
   began a decline.
 • They were born into a better world, a more
   optimistic world than the generation before them.
What We Know
• 35% are non-White
• 1 in 5 has at least one
  parent who is an immigrant
• Have the best educated mothers
  in history
• Have better educated parents
• Came out of the infertility era –
  were very wanted as children
• Grew up during a monumental financial boom
• Safest generation we have seen
What We Know About Millennials
• Born to older parents and raised in smaller families
  (lots of only children) – many have never shared a
  room
• Been plugged in since they
  were babies
• Expect technology to be free
• Have had cell phones since
  they were children
• Expect to have 4 or more jobs in their
  lifetime
• Are as interested in where they live as
  what they do – so cities are working to attract them
Millennials – What We Know
• This generation is civic-minded,
  much like the GI Generation (WWI).
• They are collectively optimistic, long-
  term planners, high achievers with
  lower rates of violent crime, teen
  pregnancy, smoking and alcohol use
  than ever before.
• This generation believes that they
  have the potential to be great and
  they probably do. We are looking
  to them to provide us with a new
  definition of citizenship.
Influenced by Customer Service
                                Movement
• Expect what they paid for
• Everyone should be concerned that they are
  satisfied and happy
• If they are not happy with your answer, they will
  go over your head
• Expect colleges to bend
  over backwards to please
  them
• Not the way it works in
  higher education
• Savvy consumers and will stay under your radar
  as long as possible
Baby Boomers as Parents
• This generation is being parented by well-educated,
  over-involved adults who participate in “deliberate
  parenting.” They have outcomes in mind.
• Boomers rebelled against the
  parenting practices of their parents.
• Strict discipline was the order
  of the day for boomers.
• They made conscious decisions
  not to say “because I told you so”
• Boomers wanted to have open
  lines of communication and a
  relationship with their children.
Baby Boomers as Parents
• They explained things to their children, (actions,
  consequences, options, etc.) – they wanted them to
  learn to make informed decisions.
• They allowed their children to have
  input into family decisions,
  educational options and
  discipline issues.
• We told them “just because
  it is on television doesn’t mean
  it’s true” or “you can’t believe
  everything you read.”
• We wanted them to question
  authority.
The Result
•Millennials have become
“a master set of negotiators”
who are capable of rational
thought and decision-making
skills at young ages.
•They will negotiate with
anyone including their
parents, teachers and school
administrators.
•Everything is open for
discussion
Talk to All Adults as Peers
• Spent a lot of time interacting with adults as
  children – they love their parents
• Aren’t afraid of adults and consider themselves
  equal
• Faculty think they lack respect
• Won’t hesitate to state their position and attempt to
  negotiate for a grade, to redo an assignment, etc.
5 minute table discussion #3
• Do you have parents calling
  you wanting to talk to you
  about their son/daughter?
• Do parents show up for
  teacher conferences or to
  help their son/ daughter enroll?
• How are parents undermining the learning
  experience of their children?
• What should the college do to “head off”
  parents?
Immigrant Families
• Immigrant Children are more Likely to:
  – Live in families with incomes below the poverty
    line
  – Have parents with very low education level
  – Have three or more siblings
  – Face economic hardship
  – Not have health insurance
  – Not use public assistance
    programs and be afraid to interact with
    government agencies
They are True Multi-taskers
• Millennials have lived programmed
  lives and are already quite capable
  of learning several jobs
  simultaneously and performing
  them admirably.
• Millennials will change careers
  many times.
• Retooling and recycling their
  skills and talents will become
  common.
• To retain them, smart employers
  will encourage Millennials to try out
  different careers within the same company.
How Millennials Learn
• Try it their way – always looking for better, faster
  way of doing things
• Prefer graphics before text, reading of excerpts
• Like small and fast processing technology – best
  when networked
• Want instant gratification                    and
  frequent rewards (spot)
• Selective attention
• Everyone gets a trophy
How Millennials Learn
• Focus on skill development – not memorization of
  what they perceive they don’t need to know
• Productivity is key – not attendance – so make
  class worthwhile or they won’t come
• Have different critical thinking skills based on their
  high tech world not
  thought processing
  (need help here)
• Rely on teacher to
  facilitate learning
• Group think and
  interaction
Millennial School Experiences
         • Many private schools, charter schools,
           magnet schools – all to meet the needs of
           the individual child –many, many choices
         • School uniforms, child safety, high
           performance standards, character
           education, cooperative learning and
           community service
         • Goal oriented – outcome based education
           (what’s in it for me)
         • Interactive, participatory and engaging –
           are consulted by adults
         • Everything 24/7 and available
           electronically
         • Increase violence and fear of violence in
           schools
Millennial College Experiences
• Multiple options – state, private, proprietary schools,
  community colleges, dual and concurrently enrolled,
  middle college, etc. (Where does one start and another
  begin?) Make the
  choice by “what’s best
  for me.”
• Group activities
  (learning communities,
  peer tutoring, service learning, supplemental instruction)
• More assumed responsibility from colleges for the social
  issues of students (before, faculty weren’t concerned)
• Don’t want or need silence to concentrate – freaks out
  the librarians
Quote….
• “A pressing pedagogical challenge right now
  is the problem of adapting a linear model
  for transmitting knowledge ……….. to a
  generation of students who are accustomed
  to dealing with multiple information streams
  in short bursts.”
•   Louis Menand, Harvard Professor, 2010, The Marketplace of Ideas: Reform
    and Resistance in the American University.
Millennial College Experiences
• Stay home as long as you can – are protected
  and mentored
• Get “do-overs” often
• Lots of technology, no
  tolerance for delays
• Are not hardy, drop out and
  quit easily
• Dislike ambiguity – “just tell
  us what we need to know”
• All possible content is on the internet – need
  process and skills-based learning
Quote….

• “Once being a professor meant …….
  refinements on knowledge that were
  effectively inaccessible to the unlearned
  person. Now, most of that esoterica is
  available instantly on Wikipedia.”

  – Louis Menand, Harvard Professor, 2010, The Marketplace of Ideas: Reform
    and Resistance in the American University.
5 minute table discussion #4
• How many emails and texts
  do you receive a day?

• Can you keep up with them?

• What policies should your
  department or the college
  have about communication?

• What would help you
  communicate more
  effectively with students?
Issues - Communicating
• Communication policies
  – How soon can they expect
    a response from you
  – When are you available
    for email
  – What will you accept
    emails about
  – Email is official communication between the student and
    the teacher – should look like official communication
  – Other casual communication devices
  – Connectivity and communication are two of their strengths
    and areas they abuse
  – You are your own worst enemy
Issues - “Ambitious Yet Aimless”
 – They work for a while until they save enough
   money to live for a while, then quite – play for
   several months and then look for work again.
 – They know at the age of 21 that they may have to
   work until they are 70 – 75. So why hurry into a
   career job now.
 – They have the same attitude with school.
 – They stop out regularly and see if things work out.
   They appear to be in “no hurry.”
 – They swirl….
Issues - The Disappearing Male
• Couples seeking assistance in fertility clinics
  are requesting female children 2 to 1 over
  male children.
• Because societies around the world are
  embracing females in college and the
  workforce, the desire for male children has
  declined. In 1985 about 50% of women
  said they had to have a male heir – now
  about 15%.

What Some Colleges Are Doing
• Knowing that most degrees are going to girls (61%),
  schools are:
  – Determining the greatest social and academic barriers
    impacting male students
  – Working on student skills, leadership skills and making
    connections with the college
  – Dedicating space and staff to work with male students
  – Creating special programs to address male needs
  – Taking a serious look at academic programs – do we offer
    programs that are of interest to males
Technology and Generational
               Differences
• Huge digital divide between the
  “haves” and the “have nots” based
  on income levels (class).
• Digital divide is appearing in pre-K.
• Low tech skills in many –
  technology is entertainment.
• More educated parents teach their
  kids to use technology that does
  work for them.

Add the Impact of Gaming
     • Gaming has impacted children
       – The game endings changed based
         on the decisions children made
         (Role Playing Games [Legend of
         Zelda, Final Fantasy, Chronotrigger])
         impacting locus of control.
       – Involves a complex set of decision-
         making skills.
       – Teaches them to take multiple
         pieces of data and make decisions
         quickly.
       – Learning more closely resembles
         Nintendo, a trial and error approach to
         solving problems.

What About 1st Generation
Students?
• Not all students will be proficient; first-
  generation and students from low income
  or working class families may have less
  experience.
• Their experience with technology has been
  in arcades and minimally in school (poorer
  districts.)
• They have not had the exposure to
  educational uses of technology.
• We need another placement test – remedial
  keyboarding and technology.
How Do We Teach Them?
• How many of you would go to a doctor if what
  he really liked to do was perform
  appendectomies. He said
  “I know you have strep throat but
  I am going to perform an
  appendectomy.”
• Doctors must treat patients
  according to their medical condition,
  their previous treatments and their future
  potential/threat.
• Why can’t we take the same approach with
  students?
5 minute table discussion #5




• Do we have to change our way of
  teaching for them or do they have to
  adjust to our way of teaching?
Millennial Expectations
• Clear expectations, explicit syllabi,
  and well structured assignments.
• They expect detailed instructions
  and guidelines for completing
  assignments.
• They have come from K-12
  systems where students are
  actively involved in learning and
  classroom activities change often.
• Teachers are helpers and
  facilitators of learning.
Some Things You Need to Know
• Their parents have not taught them the things your
  parents taught you. They had to deal with a
  multitude of things our parents either didn’t have to
  deal with or – knew so little about that they couldn’t
  have talked to us about it.
• They are horrible short-term planners.
• You have to keep up with them and tell them things
  more often than students before them.
• You have to “draw a line in the sand” about things
  you didn’t used to have to do.
• You have to learn to negotiate.
• We are never going back – you must adjust.
Concerns
• They have had too much reliance on
  technology (spell check, Excel formulas,
  calculators, grammar check, etc. (is this
  really a big deal?)
• Poor basic skills in 30-70%
• Less prepared from K-12 (what issues?)
• Can’t read or write in cursive
• Poor technology skills in 30-40%
• First generation students (gen 1.5)
• Immigrant families (language issues)
Methods of Teaching
• Teamwork – play to their strengths
• Lifelong learning – critical for them to survive –
  must learn to teach
  themselves
• Ability to have input into
  assignments and grading
  (they are negotiators)
• Team oriented assistance –
  learning communities, supplemental instruction,
  peer tutoring, mentoring
• Culture of civic engagement – this is a civic
  generation – get them involved
Suggested Teaching Techniques
• Set up real-world assignments where they use skills from
  the course to solve a real problem or sell a real product.
  Bring businesses/agencies in as clients. Do work for an
  actual client (e.g. write grants for community agencies).
• They do best in groups if you (as the faculty) structure
  them. Create questions or guidelines for the group work
  and they perform well.
• Keep them informed of their progress including class
  means, medians, running point totals, etc.
• Take a personal interest in them and their work.
• Offer a variety of activities and make it fast paced
Things That Work
• They like technology and understand it but don’t
  expect everything to be delivered via technology.
• They do like things posted so they can access it
  and being able to communicate with their teacher
  via technology.
• Remember they are civic and like to do things in
  groups – get along well with other generations.
• Use interactive learning technology
• Learning by discovery
• Watch their “attention deployment.” They stop
  paying attention to things that don’t interest them.

Things That Work – Teaching Thinking
• Students need the ability to sift, analyze, and
  reflect upon large amounts of data in today's
  information age.
• Use scenarios where they must reach a conclusion,
  determine what flaws and limits might be
  embedded in their approach, what they know with
  certainty, what do they not know.
• Give students a controversial problem that can and
  should be approached from several perspectives.
  Help them to come to a reasoned conclusion.
• Put the students in charge, allow them to lead and
  don’t butt in too much.
Things That Work
• Mini learning communities in class
  – Break up first time and in the same group for the
    entire semester
  – Exchange phone numbers, emails, etc.
  – When one is absent, someone from the group
    calls
  – Engages them in the group and thus in the class
• Teacher conferences
  – Get to know the student and student get to know
    the faculty – makes a difference
Interested in Things That Matter
• Want to have an impact on the world
• Interested in careers that matter
• Show them aspects of a field or career that
  has an impact on society
• Will be attracted to the mission of the
  community college as faculty – are beginning
  to join our faculty ranks (oldest are 28-30).

Millennial School Experiences • Many private schools, charter schools, magnet schools – all to meet the needs of the individual child –many, many choices • School uniforms, child safety, high performance standards, character education, cooperative learning and community service • Goal oriented – outcome based education (what’s in it for me) • Interactive, participatory and engaging – are consulted by adults • Everything 24/7 and available electronically • Increase violence and fear of violence in schools

Make the choice by “what’s best for me.” • Group activities (learning communities, peer tutoring, service learning, supplemental instruction) • More assumed responsibility from colleges for the social issues of students (before, faculty weren’t concerned) • Don’t want or need silence to concentrate – freaks out the librarians

  • 42. 5 minute table discussion #4 • How many emails and texts do you receive a day? • Can you keep up with them? • What policies should your department or the college have about communication? • What would help you communicate more effectively with students?
  • 43. Issues - Communicating • Communication policies – How soon can they expect a response from you – When are you available for email – What will you accept emails about – Email is official communication between the student and the teacher – should look like official communication – Other casual communication devices – Connectivity and communication are two of their strengths and areas they abuse – You are your own worst enemy
  • 44. Issues - “Ambitious Yet Aimless” – They work for a while until they save enough money to live for a while, then quite – play for several months and then look for work again. – They know at the age of 21 that they may have to work until they are 70 – 75. So why hurry into a career job now. – They have the same attitude with school. – They stop out regularly and see if things work out. They appear to be in “no hurry.” – They swirl….
  • 45. Issues - The Disappearing Male • Couples seeking assistance in fertility clinics are requesting female children 2 to 1 over male children. • Because societies around the world are embracing females in college and the workforce, the desire for male children has declined.

  • 49. What Some Colleges Are Doing • Knowing that most degrees are going to girls (61%), schools are: – Determining the greatest social and academic barriers impacting male students – Working on student skills, leadership skills and making connections with the college – Dedicating space and staff to work with male students – Creating special programs to address male needs – Taking a serious look at academic programs – do we offer programs that are of interest to males
  • 50. Technology and Generational Differences • Huge digital divide between the “haves” and the “have nots” based on income levels (class). • Digital divide is appearing in pre-K. • Low tech skills in many – technology is entertainment. • More educated parents teach their kids to use technology that does work for them.

Source: Is Social Networking Changing Childhood?, 2011. Hafner, 2009)
  • 56. Children and Teens and Technology Children and Teens on Cell Phone Usage the Computer Source: Los Angeles Times
  • 57. What About 1st Generation Students? • Not all students will be proficient; first- generation and students from low income or working class families may have less experience. • Their experience with technology has been in arcades and minimally in school (poorer districts.) • They have not had the exposure to educational uses of technology. • We need another placement test – remedial keyboarding and technology.
  • 58. How Do We Teach Them? • How many of you would go to a doctor if what he really liked to do was perform appendectomies. He said “I know you have strep throat but I am going to perform an appendectomy.” • Doctors must treat patients according to their medical condition, their previous treatments and their future potential/threat. • Why can’t we take the same approach with students?
  • 59. 5 minute table discussion #5 • Do we have to change our way of teaching for them or do they have to adjust to our way of teaching?
  • 60. Millennial Expectations • Clear expectations, explicit syllabi, and well structured assignments. • They expect detailed instructions and guidelines for completing assignments. • They have come from K-12 systems where students are actively involved in learning and classroom activities change often. • Teachers are helpers and facilitators of learning.
  • 61. Some Things You Need to Know • Their parents have not taught them the things your parents taught you. They had to deal with a multitude of things our parents either didn’t have to deal with or – knew so little about that they couldn’t have talked to us about it. • They are horrible short-term planners. • You have to keep up with them and tell them things more often than students before them. • You have to “draw a line in the sand” about things you didn’t used to have to do. • You have to learn to negotiate. • We are never going back – you must adjust.
  • 62. Concerns • They have had too much reliance on technology (spell check, Excel formulas, calculators, grammar check, etc. (is this really a big deal?) • Poor basic skills in 30-70% • Less prepared from K-12 (what issues?) • Can’t read or write in cursive • Poor technology skills in 30-40% • First generation students (gen 1.5) • Immigrant families (language issues)
  • 63. Methods of Teaching • Teamwork – play to their strengths • Lifelong learning – critical for them to survive – must learn to teach themselves • Ability to have input into assignments and grading (they are negotiators) • Team oriented assistance – learning communities, supplemental instruction, peer tutoring, mentoring • Culture of civic engagement – this is a civic generation – get them involved
  • 64. Suggested Teaching Techniques • Set up real-world assignments where they use skills from the course to solve a real problem or sell a real product. Bring businesses/agencies in as clients. Do work for an actual client (e.g. write grants for community agencies). • They do best in groups if you (as the faculty) structure them. Create questions or guidelines for the group work and they perform well. • Keep them informed of their progress including class means, medians, running point totals, etc. • Take a personal interest in them and their work. • Offer a variety of activities and make it fast paced
  • 65. Things That Work • They like technology and understand it but don’t expect everything to be delivered via technology. • They do like things posted so they can access it and being able to communicate with their teacher via technology. • Remember they are civic and like to do things in groups – get along well with other generations. • Use interactive learning technology • Learning by discovery • Watch their “attention deployment.” They stop paying attention to things that don’t interest them.
