Recruiting and Retaining Generation Y Teachers
Engage a new generation of teachers to create effective learning communities!
Administrators will find a research-based framework for hiring and retaining Generation Y educators, whose exposure to technology and diversity makes their perspectives dramatically different from previous generations. The authors offer guidelines for welcoming new candidates into a learning community and developing appropriate professional development programs and assessments. A wide range of case studies and extensive exercises help school leaders:
- Identify Generation Y educators' learning, communication, and work styles
- Recruit, interview, and hire candidates in support of existing goals
- Evaluate school culture and promote cross-generational teamwork
- Communicate effectively with all staff members
