Who are today’s
students?
“This year’s entering college class of 2016 [most of
them born in 1994] was born into cyberspace and
they have therefore measured their output in the
fundamental particles of life: bits, bytes, and
bauds. They have come to political consciousness
during a time of increasing doubts about
America’s future, and are entering college
bombarded by questions about jobs and the value
of a college degree.”

The Mindset List
for the Class of 2016
13
Beloit College, The Mindset List
http://www.beloit.edu/mindset/2016/
• They have always lived in cyberspace, addicted to
a new generation of “electronic narcotics” and
they watch television everywhere but on a
television.
• They have never needed an actual airline “ticket,”
a set of bound encyclopedias, or Romper Room.
• They have lived in an era of instant stardom and
self-proclaimed celebrities, famous for being
famous.
• History has always had its own channel.

Beloit College, The Mindset List
http://www.beloit.edu/mindset/2016/
• Since they've been born, the United States has
measured progress by a 2% jump in
unemployment and a 16 cent rise in the price of a
first class postage stamp.
• Despite being preferred urban gathering places,
two-thirds of the independent bookstores in the
United States have closed for good during their
lifetimes.
• They are probably the most tribal generation in
history and they despise being separated from
contact with friends.

not just about literacy skills,
but, "literacy habits,“
not just about lifelong learning,
but, it is a "learning lifestyle.“

“Literacy can be thought of as a
currency in this society.
Just as adults with little money have
difficulty meeting their basic needs,
those with limited literacy skills are
likely to find it more challenging to
pursue their goals.”

How do we respond as
educators?
23
• Ensure that instructional and assessment
decisions at the early grades consider the
impact on student expectations and
opportunities for the future.
“For a student in elementary or middle school,
the ARD committee understands that
instructional and assessment decisions made
now may impact a student’s graduation options
when he or she is in high school.”
STAAR Modified/Alternate Participation Requirements

How do we respond as
educators?
24
• Ensure that instructional and assessment
decisions in high school do not
compromise the student’s access to future
educational opportunities
“Modified coursework results in the student
graduating on the Minimum High School Program
(MHSP). Students who graduate on the MHSP are
not eligible for automatic admission into a Texas
four-year university.”

“Today's workplace demands more
than competency in the three R's.
Employers want a new kind of
employee with a broad set of skills,
or at least a strong foundation in the
basics, in order to facilitate learning
on the job.”
