I have taught elementary/middle school students for 27 years, four of those years, I was an administrator. I hold certifications in Michigan, Nevada, and Georgia. I’ve taught in private, public, charter, and magnet school arenas across the country. Although I have retired, my life’s mission is dedicated to Generation Alpha. They were born between 2010-2024, and the first generation to be born FULLY in the 21st Century. They are the children of the Millennials and Generation X. They have only been taught through external stimuli, meaning they began swiping and clicking practically since infancy.

Unfortunately, what we failed to do (through no fault of our own, as we were scrambling to keep up with the ever-changing technology) was to equip them with the necessary tools to navigate their external world. Gen Alpha will be the largest generation in the history of the world. Sadly, they are operating and functioning without the necessary tools in spaces free of parental influence and operating on platforms their parents don’t even understand.

Fortunately, the oldest of Generation Alpha turned 13 in 2024. Herein lies the opportunity with 52 Insights for Gen Alpha: A Conscious Curriculum to place in their hands the tools needed to navigate THEIR world. This is a program created by a teacher for leaders to empower middle and high school students to become conscious thinkers and creators.
