SUMMARY:The A’s to Z’s of Teaching Gen Z
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, August 12\, 2026\n10:30–11:30 a.m. (UTC-04:00) Atlantic Time (Canada)\nOnline via Microsoft Teams\nLink to register for the event\n“If we teach today’s students as we taught yesterday’s\, we rob them of tomorrow.” – John Dewey\, American education reformer\nBack by popular demand: Gen Z in the Classroom! Have you recently found yourself saying “Back in my day\, students used to be like…” or “I just don’t understand students anymore!”? Generation Z is the largest cohort demographic on university campuses today. More than any other generation\, this group of students has faced lightning-speed changes in society\, and have been heavily “shaped by the advancement of technology\, issues of violence\, a volatile economy\, and social justice movements” (Seemiller & Grace\, 2017). As a part of the Resilient Classroom Series\, this session will help you adapt your teaching to better align with Gen Z’s unique motivations\, goals\, skillsets\, and social concerns. In this online session\, you will learn:\n\nCommon characteristics and learning preferences of Gen Z students.\nStrategies to adapt your course design and assessments to better support and teach Gen Z students.\n\nTo help you take what you learn from this session to your classroom\, we will collectively brainstorm strategies to use in the Gen Z classroom. In addition\, you will develop a preliminary plan for how you can adapt one student assessment or course design aspect to better suit your Gen Z students.\nFacilitator\nDaniella Sieukaran (she/her)\nSenior Educational Developer (Program Development)\n \nCreating an accessible and optimal learning environment is paramount for the CLT: please email us at clt@dal.ca to let us know if you anticipate any barriers we will need to remove in the learning environment\, or if there is anything in particular you feel we should know that will best facilitate your learning experience. The information you share will be kept confidential and only shared with the session facilitators.\nIf you have any questions please email clt@dal.ca.
