Nearly half (42%) of Gen Z students ages 11-17 feel that what they learn outside the classroom is more important to their future careers than what they learn inside, according to a 2016 online survey at www.adobeeducate.com/genz.

A 16-year-old student reported I have parents who discuss real world issues and problems with me and I get to see how they problem-solve.

A teacher reported Everyone has a phone and/or tablet in class.  This is unheard of even 4 years ago.  Curriculum is WAY behind these kids . . . you can view instantaneous info whereas textbooks and papers are obsolete.  Also, Gen Z students want to be entertained . . . they will believe/trust YouTube over a textbook any day.

Online training plans at www.Lesson-Up.net are continuously updated providing you and your students the most current information.
