Abstract
The purpose of this quantitative study was to determine the importance of valuing building culture, teacher autonomy, teacher efficacy, and teacher salary as it pertains to Indiana millennial teachers. The research was based on the millennial mindset and how that mindset can influence culture, autonomy, and efficacy. As a millennial myself, my interest in this topic is a result of spending 13 years as an Indiana educator; 6 as a classroom teacher and 7 as a building level administrator. As a current principal with a desire to become a superintendent, the retention of Indiana teachers is of the utmost importance for our profession. As a result of this quantitative study, statistically significant differences between age of respondents, location type of respondents, and anticipated longevity of respondents on school culture, teacher efficacy, teacher autonomy, and teacher salary were found. The study found that school culture and teacher salary are two significant factors that play a role in whether or not Indiana millennial teachers will stay in the profession.
