By Nick Friedman - Millennial teachers are returning to classrooms with the realities common to their generation, such as flexible learner-centered models.
Millennials have been taught to speak up and express their opinions. Their experiences online have taught them that opinions and ways of working can and should be
===> respected based on merit, not their place in a social or workplace hierarchy, <===
or simply because that’s the way things have always been done.
I scooped this article because as I interviewed teachers this year, I felt like many of them were so YOUNG! I couldn't believe how old I was, or least how old I felt compared to how young they were. This article references the differences in their thinking and working style and it's a good article for me to read and understand. When they speak out, its not out of disrespect, it's because they've grown up being told to speak out. I hope that this article sheds light on the new generation of teachers and educators for those of us that have been in the race a bit longer, and those of us who don't understand all of the nuances that we see with this generation.
