Before beginning our work on Ph.D. degrees, we have had a vested interest in all the generations we were teaching and working with. Colleges provide a wide array of generations throughout all aspects of the campus; students, staff, and faculty.
Ever looking for improvement in communication with fellow employees and learners, as well as the areas of recruitment and retention of students, both of us have sincerely explored and conducted in-depth research ways for enhancement for the learning and working communities in which we live.
Through our presentations and workshops, we provide overviews and understanding of the Generational Divide in the classroom and/or workplace. Specific targeted areas covered in all presentations are:
- Importance of Understanding the Generational Differences
- Understanding the New Generation of Learners and Employees
- Specific Knowledge about the Millennial Generation and Their Characteristics
- Application Ideas for Your Specific Setting
- Recruitment, Team-Building, Change, Motivation, Maintaining/Retaining/Increasing Productivity
- Retention
(Please click on the appropriate tab for your area of interest to see more specifics and explanations.)
Through research, we view the Generational Differences as:
- G.I. Generation - 1901-1924 (ages 83-106)
- Silent Generation - 1925-1942 (ages 65-82)
- Boomers - 1943-1960 (ages 47-64)
- Generation X - 1961-1981 (ages 26-46)
- Millennials - 1982-2002 (ages 5-25)
- Homeland Generation - 2002-Present (ages 5 and under)
(Another generation often considered for discussion is Generation 1.5 - Immigrant Populations)
We prepare and plan every presentation and/or workshop specifically to the needs of our clients. We listen to your needs and address them before and after we are with you.
This article contains information about the use of TM, SMS, IM, and cell phone in the classrooms of Australia. Many teachers are causing controversy Down Under by actually incorporating the use of these technologies into their daily lessons. Professor Frow says "English has literary languages of different kinds, it's got technical languages, it's got professional jargon, it's got sub-cultural languages, it's got dialects, the kind of language that's used in chatrooms. Kids today are exposed to a much bigger range of languages than we were in the pre-digital era." The argument about poor writing skills is also addressed in this article.
