A Manifesto for Growing Leaders on Your Campus

Tim Elmore

Poet Gardener Publishing

The one book every parent, educator, coach, and youth worker should read. Over 100,000 adults have benefitted from Tim Elmore's insights in this landmark book, which has been updated and expanded to include new research, stories, practical solutions, and two bonus chapters to help adults connect with today's teens and young adults. Generation iY helps adults: <ul>
<li>Guide unprepared adolescents and at-risk kids to productive adulthood</li>
<li>Guide them toward real success instead of superficial "self-esteem"</li>
<li>Adopt education strategies that engage (instead of bore) an "I" generation</li>
<li>Employ their strengths and work with their weaknesses on the job</li>
<li>Understand the generation following Millennials: Generation Z</li>
</ul>It is no longer accurate to refer to Generation Y as one collective demographic. The Millennials born after 1990 are a whole new batch of students. We call them Generation iY because their life is dominated by the iPhone, the iPod, iTunes, etc. They've been identified as the Digital Generation, Mosaics, Techies, Millennials and Screenagers. They are the talk of Human Resource professionals and newspaper journalists, they are the prize of their parents, and they are the market share every retailer covets. They are the kids born between 1990 and 2002 and are part of the largest generation in our history. The older you are, the more you'll feel like an immigrant among natives with this new generation. They've shifted from our Gutenberg era into their own Google era. Their bias is for action and interaction. We have the privilege of shaping their future.

Leading today's students often feels like being in a new country. The population in this new land has different attitudes (many entitled and narcissistic) and speaks a different language (emojis and social media). Attention spans are six to eight seconds. They multi-task on five screens. They often possess multiple personas on social media platforms. Understanding and connecting with this generation is often times frustrating and draining. The old maps that helped adults navigate students through adolescence are now producing graduates who move back home, are afraid to take healthy risks, and are unwilling to start at the bottom of a career path. We're in new territory. We need new strategies on how to navigate new land...to march off our old maps and create new ones. That is what this book is all about. From decades of research and hands-on experience, Dr. Tim Elmore and Andrew McPeak collate their conclusions into one resource. In Marching Off the Map, they share practical, research-based solutions that help adults: 
<ul>
<li>Inspire students to own their education and their future </li>
<li>Lead students from an attitude of apathy to one of passion through metacognition </li>
<li>Enable students to push back from the constant digital distractions and practice mindfulness </li>
<li>Raise kids who make healthy progress, both emotionally and intellectually, through their teenage years </li>
<li>Give students the tools to handle the complexities of an ever-changing world </li>
<li>Understand and practically apply the latest research on Generation Z </li>
<li>Leverage what is cultural to instill in teens the wisdom and advice you know they need to succeed in any stage of life.</li>
</ul>

The Pandemic Population: Eight Strategies to Help Generation Z Rediscover Hope After Coronavirus

Elmore, Tim

Our technology-fueled world is faster and more convenient than ever, but are we better for it? The evidence now shows that for our youngest population - Generation Z - life has not gotten better. They are the most social generation in history, but they are also the loneliest. They are the smartest generation in history, but they also struggle in basic social interactions. They have more opportunities than ever before, but they tend to feel overwhelmed rather than empowered. And students aren't the only ones who are struggling. Shorter attention spans, shifting learning styles, standardized test preparation, and continuously changing policies, are all creating frustrations for educators as well. To address these challenges, the world's greatest educators and leaders are changing their strategy. Instead of just emphasizing grades and tests, these leaders focus on instilling their students with skills they can use to make more positive life choices for themselves. These timeless soft skills go by many names in the modern world, but no matter what we call them, they all lead to one outcome: young adults who are ready for real life. Ready for Real Life defines the five core soft skills all students need. Using compelling stories and practical insights, this book shows how these five skills, though timeless in human history, are still our best strategy to prepare young adults for the 21st century.
