This is how we use macro level change for huge progress.

TL;DR: Gen Zers are feeling disconnected from school, lacking motivation and purpose, leading educators to shift strategies towards more engaging activities like internships and electives. 📚✨ As Gen Z students like Ella Mayor express feeling disconnected from traditional schooling, a recent Gallup and Walton Family Foundation report sheds light on the widespread sentiment. Mayor's experience working as a pharmacy technician part-time outside school exemplifies the disconnect many youths feel within the classroom. The report highlights the crucial importance of students finding purpose and engagement in their academic pursuits. This has prompted educators to rethink their approaches, emphasizing internships and diverse elective options to cater to students' interests and aspirations. 🎓 Key takeaway: Understanding and fostering a sense of purpose among Gen Z students is crucial for educators and marketers alike in crafting engaging experiences both in and out of the classroom. 🚀 #GenZ #YouthEngagement #EducationRevolution 🎉

"Hands-on" learning also supports traditional academics by showing the practical value of what is taught in the classroom. https://lnkd.in/e7qzZUjK
