Generation Alpha: Educating Our Next Generation Starts In The Classroom

In this webinar, Dr. Valora Washington, Ph.D., CAE, The CAYL Institute.  Valora talked about Generation Alpha, the group of children born between 2010- 2025 that will live and interact with many more generation cohorts than generations of the past. She got into ways they will be raised in smaller, constantly evolving families, and as learners, they are digital natives, tech-savvy, globally-connected, and diverse.
