My experience with Generation Text has given me a framework for living

Madeleine MorganĀ 
College Senior

Being a part of the Generation Text Online mentor program has taught me the importance of being mentally and physically happy. Through our weekly meetings, I have learned useful techniques to maintain my physical well-being and to help others achieve the same. These meetings with my peers and mentor have encouraged me to become more comfortable understanding my emotions and to be aware and respectful of the thoughts, opinions, and beliefs of those around me. My experience with Generation Text has given me the framework for learning how to deal with and resolve conflicts with others. Lastly, the platform has given me insight into the importance of the inclusion of others, which has ultimately taught me what it means to be accepting and tolerant of individuals whose opinions and attitudes differ from my own.

Generation Text has provided a safe space where I feel comfortable and free to share and discuss my own mental and physical health with others. The continuous support and acceptance given by my peers and my mentor throughout my training are the kinds of positive feelings I hope to give to my own mentees in the future.

There is a huge discrepancy between what students thing and what teachers think

While adults may believe they are doing enough, students do not think we are.

Remember to slow down

This has reminded us to slow down and take time for conversation with each other/to build relationships instead of just "work" all the time

Energetic and Experiential

Jill Brown provides an energetic and experiential training that captures the essence of the Generation Text On-Line curricula. Educators are sure to walk away with valuable insight and understanding of this increasingly relevant 15 week program. In a rapidly changing, pluralistic society, the needs of the 21st century learner are constantly evolving and Generation Text sets out to meet that need.

COVID-19 Effects

For a year now we have escaped our regular lives due to the COVID-19 pandemic. I can speak for everyone when saying that quarantine has affected us mentally, socially, and physically.

Builds rapport and relationships from an empathetic perspective

The GTO approach has resulted in students understanding one another more effectively as well as teachers understanding their students and the motivations that drive their behavior to learn and behave most effectively.

The Teacher Student Relationship is so important

One of the things that I found most interesting was learning about is how important the teacher-student relationship is.
