Wilkinson, Denise
NADE Digest, v5 n2 p35-43 Spr 2011
The values and needs of today's college students are different from the needs of students from past generations. It is important that developmental educators recognize the characteristics of these students in their classroom and develop strategies to address their needs. This article focuses on the characteristics of the Millennial student, as compared to characteristics of students from past generations. In addition, implications of having these students in the developmental classroom and best practices and activities that may be implemented to address their needs are discussed.
