Recruiting and Retaining Generation Y

By Ronald W. Rebore & Angela L. E. Walmsley 

College graduates seeking positions in school districts today often belong to the generation known as Generation Y or the Millennials – raised in a society saturated with technology and multicultural influences. Their perspectives, expectations and needs differ dramatically from those of previous generations and integrating these candidates into an existing school culture requires new approaches to recruiting and building professional relationships.

The authors provide school district leaders with a research-based framework for connecting with this new generation of professionals and building a multigenerational, collaborative workforce. This book includes guidelines for hiring and retaining Generation Y educators, assimilating new teachers into a learning community, and developing appropriate instructional and professional development programs.
