Teaching Generation Z: The Essential Guide

The overall objectives of our project for assessment and training of the social skills of teachers for the Generation Z are:

  • Improved Teacher Effectiveness
  • Enhanced Student Outcomes
  • Better School Climate
  • Adaptation to Changing Student Populations

In order to reach these objectives, we have developed a detailed Social Skills Assessment Tool and materials for individual training for those social skills (soft skills) which teachers in secondary and tertiary education need in their teaching of pupils and students from the Generation Z.

In these Guidelines, we have compiled the most important content to give teachers of Generation Z students an overview about all the competences they need for successful teaching.

Teachers will find a detailed description of eight skills clusters with 49 skills and competences in total, with indications why these skills are important for Generation Z teachers. These Guidelines will enable them to better understand the results from the Assessment Tool and to create an inclusive and engaging learning environment, foster student collaboration and engagement, and support the development of critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
