Are you changing instruction for Generation Alpha?

# data[].attributes.body
To engage generation alpha, you need to adapt and move forward with   techniques, resources, and approaches. During all of this, equity needs to be kept in mind as it should not be assumed students have access to support or media such as technology devices. As educators, we must be aware that these students need different learning techniques, social-emotional learning goals, and the usage of devices.

 How do individuals learn most effectively?

# data[].attributes.body
Each individual learns differently! Students require different instructional approaches, modifications, resources, and relationships. It is not IF you will encounter each type of learner, it is WHEN. Flexibility with your individual students and engaging them in the ways that they need is key. Students needs are ever-changing. Students learn most effectively when their social and emotional needs are met first.

Learning Styles & Multiple Intelligences: Theory Integration

# data[].attributes.body
Students' relationship with education is established at a very young age. How we approach each individual will pave his or her road towards becoming a successful adult. As an educator, it is important to understand the utmost importance that a strong education can have, and that we have the ability to foster not just a love of learning but create a safe, and prosperous environment for our students.
It is important to serve each individual student and provide them with an education that is appropriate for them. In providing an appropriate and individualized education that is centered on the student, it is important to acknowledge that what is fair is not always equal, and what is equal is not always fair.
