Understanding, Teaching, and Serving Today’s Students

Are today’s students different from those 40 years ago? 20 years ago? Dr. Mark Taylor thinks so, and he says these differences—along with cultural and technological changes—mean that we have to change the way we teach. “If you’re the one doing all the work, you’re messing up” he says.

In his two-hour presentation on our campus September 7^th, Dr. Taylor made his case for why today’s students are different and what you can do about it in your classroom.Minimizing lecture and maximizing student interaction with content is one of his primary themes.
