Dear Colleagues –

You’ve likely heard the terms “millennial” and “digital native” applied to the current generation of students, but there is much more uniqueness to them than their era of birth or ease with technology might suggest — especially if they are Clark students.  Our student body has changed considerably over the past few decades — we have more international students, a different array of ALANA students, students with various and fluid gender identities, and third culture kids (TCKs) (Don’t know what that means? All the more reason to come to this session!).

In order to help us better understand the current Clarkie and what this means for our classroom pedagogy,  we have gathered a panel of  students who will speak about how their “category” affects their classroom experience. Please come and hear them on Thursday March 21, at 1:30 in Winton Dining room. The panel will be moderated by Chih Ming Tan, member of the CETL Steering Committee and faculty member in Economics. Our intent is that this session be interactive and practical. Attendees will have a chance to reflect on their own classroom experiences and challenges. Ideally we will wrap up the session with a set of sensible and implementable pedagogical approaches that will arise as a consequence of the back-and-forth discussion.

RSVP to http://tinyurl.com/c3j2mtg. Very sorry for the short notice, and apologies also for overlapping with the Dialogue Teaching lunches.

In addition to the student panel, we will provide demographic information on the Clark student characteristics over time, and a resource list for faculty in working with various types of students.
