Synopsis

"An insightful and uplifting read!"
―James Rickabaugh, Superintendent, Whitefish Bay School District, WI

"Baby boomer teachers are now the old guard. Gen-Xers demand accountability and transparency. And Millennials are recasting the attitudes and behaviors of youth. The authors provide a roadmap that rings true with anyone who works in a school."
―Neil Howe, LifeCourse Associates
Author, Generations and Millennials Rising

An enlightening guide to encourage multigenerational school staff collaboration.

Today′s workforce comprises distinct generational cohorts―Veterans, Baby Boomers, Gen-Xers, and Millennials. Generations at School provides educators with the knowledge and tools to create and sustain true collaboration, teamwork, and consensus.

Suzette Lovely and Austin G. Buffum introduce the traits and tipping points of these diverse age groups, while providing:

  • Case studies and workplace alternatives for the hiring and retention of high-quality employees as well as practices for orientation, mentoring, and boosting schoolwide communication
  • Guidelines for examining the generational footprint of an entire district, department, or school site
  • Easy-to-apply strategies to promote cross-generational collaboration, performance, and harmony

When sound communication emerges and differences are understood, school districts can create communities that appreciate the uniqueness of each member and value the rich contributions from a multigenerational staff.
