Crowdsource Coffee: Students Are Speaking: Responding to the Evolving Communication Needs of Young People

About This Event

Crowdsource Coffees are just-in-time conversations about topics relevant to leaders in the Portico community. These conversations are for school leaders to discuss shared challenges and exchange insights about what’s working as they transform the student experience and use inclusive leadership practices with their communities.

In a 2019 study on the workplace readiness of Generation Z (those born after 1995), respondents felt unprepared for using communication skills in the workplace such as networking, negotiating, and resolving conflicts. However, members of Gen Z felt confident in their ability to work on a team and try new things. Led by two former high school teachers, this Crowdsource Coffee will feature discussion about how education can better equip students with 21st century skills, and how a strengths-based mindset can utilize the skills our students already possess.
