Minicourse C: Gen A: who they are and how they can change the classroom
As part of the ‘Each Child, Every Child, and the Whole Child: IATEFL YLTSIG Webconference 2024’ event, YLTSIG is again offering three different minicourses for teachers around the world. The courses are 6 hours long, comprised of 3 sessions of two hours each.
Gen A: who they are and how they can change the classroom is being kindly facilitated by TROIKA.
Post-pandemic, teachers in different contexts are looking to apply new strategies to offer meaningful experiences to learners. But something has changed… who are these learners? Generation Alpha includes all children born in or after 2010 (with the oldest turning 13 this year), what does that mean to us, teachers? In this mini-course, participants will have the opportunity to analyze the profile of these learners, understand the implications of some of the characteristics of the teaching-learning process, and leave with a bag of ideas and activities built collaboratively.
Day 1: We will start the first day of the course learning the characteristics of Gen A and how they are value-oriented. We will also consider how growing up in the Covid-19 pandemic might have affected their lives.
Day 2: On the second day of the course, we will understand the implications of some of the Gen A characteristics to the teaching-learning process. We will suggest a range of activities to use with learners in light of their demographic profile.
Day 3: As we have a more thorough understanding of learning disabilities, diagnoses are becoming more common. To round off, we will understand how that can affect the learning process and how teachers can help shape a more inclusive classroom.
