Millennials are derided as narcissistic and entitled, and commended as generous and achieving. These traits inform an increased focus on meaningful work, accommodation, and feedback-seeking, which may not align with traditional work patterns. Likewise, students from the I-Generation are now entering the classroom with their own preferences, which may not align with traditional work patterns or those designed for Millennials. In this session, participants will share pedagogical tools that have effectively addressed the needs of Millennials within the bounds of the work world. Participants will explore challenges presented by the I-Generation, and how this generational shift will impact the classroom.
