Location

Session Format
Presentation
Abstract
Individuals born between 2010-2025 are considered part of Generation Alpha. Little is known or written regarding this generation; however, a greater understanding of current knowledge can impact the future of this population. Researching this population's strengths, challenges, and barriers may help with creative strategies for prevention, education, and supporting their future. Teachers, administrators, school counselors, parents, and stakeholders interacting with members of Generation Alpha within the school setting play an integral part in effectively and efficiently providing personalized education and support. This presentation provides a compilation of current research on Generation Alpha and creative suggestions for educators, administrators, school counselors, and parents.
