Clean Slate: Letter from the Editor

By Adrianne Roggenbuck

A brand new school year has begun! A clean slate for both students and teachers. What will you write on this year's slate? Will it be a success story filled with laughter and learning? Sometimes we start out the year with high hopes and energy only to experience an emotional crash by Thanksgiving when we are indeed thankful to have a four-day weekend away from our students.

Beyond that, the Millenials are here to stay - and the boomer generation is not. More and more of them are retiring, and someone is going to have to take up the slack. And those someones are the Millenials. Managers who learn to understand this generation and how to work with them are going to be extremely valuable over the next 20 years. Will you be one of them?
