An introduction to several students who grew up around the millennium and attend a unique
school for learning differences.
Brookhart, a teacher at Denver Academy, notes that older generations often label children born
between 1990 and 2009 (who he dubs “Millenials”) as spoiled, overscheduled, collaborative and wise
beyond their years. A generation raised by celebrity culture, cell phones and MySpace, these
Millennials grew up immersed in technology and accustomed to the reality that their every action
might be recorded or documented. The author believes that despite their negative stereotypes,
Millennials are the first truly global generation and, due to their celebration of diversity, could
potentially bridge the gaps among different cultures around the world. In this class-project book, several of Brookhart’s students share their
learning experiences, personal histories, academic papers and creative writing. Denver Academy caters to students who, despite their intelligence,
have problems in the public school system due to learning disabilities or behavioral problems such as ADHD, sensory disorders or severe
dyslexia. Teachers at Denver Academy incorporate unique teaching techniques—the use of electronic multimedia tools or allowing for extra
breaks—that cater to each student’s style and drastically improve their performances. The most compelling sections of the book consist of the
kids’ personal stories. “Globalistic” is a non-fiction work that addresses the current state of progress, technology and information-overload in our increasingly globalized world. It is a collection of writings from the Millennial generation (specifically students at Denver Academy in Colorado) providing a perspective from their point of view. Readers discover what it is like growing up in their world and the impact this has had on their values and education. The book asserts that traditional educational models are fundamentally “failure based” and that teachers, parents and other adults must change their approach if we are to avoid some of these brilliant minds from “falling through the cracks”. Ramsey Brookhart says he has witnessed, first hand, that when a student’s learning style does not align with traditional models of education they are quickly labelled as defiant, lazy and unintelligent. He says: “We are letting our kids down if we do not change, so the book ‘Globalistic’ offers a new approach to teaching - illustrated through testimonials from this Millennial generation – one that is speaking up and demanding to be heard”.
Ramsey has a belief that “this book is extremely important for not only students and teachers, but also to parents and other adults who want to understand the impact of this technologically based world in which we live. And remember, this is a collection of writings from students, teachers and select leaders in education, spirituality and generational studies”.
