Who Moved my Cheese is brilliant! What a fantastic dipiction of the different characteristics leaders have to manage. With all of the changes taking place in my school district, I was really able to relate to the characters in a significant way. Each of the characters reminded me of teachers I work with, or have worked with.
I found the Tune In article very intriguing. First of all, I never really considered myself to be so near in age to the millenial generation. It is interesting to remember that as I was growing up, I often thought of the class behind me as being drastically different. I understand that the line between the generations is not that clear cut, but an interesting memory non the less. I'm curioius to know what the author's views are on the gen-y group, as they were not mentioned. Secondly, the article shared a thought that the millenial generation could likely be the first generation of life-long learners. This generation's willingness to change when needed is a vital when faced with the challenge of appealling to today's youth.
clash of generations
Erin,
ReplyDeleteWhat I found interesting about this generation is that they were considered to be the first generation who may not show a committment to the profession. As the author pointed out that they may not work in the teaching industry very long or at least as long as the current or veteran teachers have.
With all of the changes happening now, where do you see the field of education five or even ten years from now?
