DENVER, CO (MMD Newswire) July 8, 2009 -- Globalistic: Writings from a Millennial Classroom 2009 by Ramsey Brookhart features essays and opinions from his class of students who were able to reach their academic potential in a non-traditional educational setting at a Colorado private school. Brookhart believes that when a student's learning style does not align with traditional models of education, they are often labeled as defiant, lazy or unintelligent.
"We're trying to demonstrate different media and educational models as a conduit to learning and understanding the millennial generation," Brookhart says. "Too many brilliant young minds are falling through the cracks in our overcrowded schools with underpaid teachers; look at these young authors now-they are published authors with an important message. The book speaks directly to parents, educators, and other students about abilities, opportunities and a can-do spirit that some fear may be lacking in the upcoming ‘millennial' generation. These essays are proof that the future is safe in the hands of today's young people."
Featuring pieces from 13 millennial students, the book offers opinions and reflection on education in the words of young people experiencing it first-hand. Comments from Brookhart and other faculty members are also included along with student photographs depicting progressive teaching techniques. The students and Brookhart plan to donate the proceeds from the books towards future educational outreach projects, cancer research and scholarship assistance for students with learning differences.
