00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.210
(mumbling background talking)

2
00:00:01.210 --> 00:00:03.277
<v Narrator>Hi, we're here on the Millennial Train.</v>

3
00:00:03.277 --> 00:00:04.237
I think we're in Iowa.

4
00:00:04.237 --> 00:00:05.220
Can you tell me who you are

5
00:00:05.220 --> 00:00:06.942
and what you're working on?

6
00:00:06.942 --> 00:00:07.775
<v ->Sure.</v>

7
00:00:07.775 --> 00:00:11.107
So, my name is Victoria James,

8
00:00:11.107 --> 00:00:14.011
I'm from the Washington D.C. region,

9
00:00:14.011 --> 00:00:15.805
I teach ninth grade English

10
00:00:15.805 --> 00:00:19.327
in Hyattsville, Maryland, at Prince George's County.

11
00:00:19.327 --> 00:00:20.566
<v Narrator>Cool and what project</v>

12
00:00:20.566 --> 00:00:22.008
are you working on here on the train?

13
00:00:22.008 --> 00:00:25.119
<v ->My project is called the Millennial Teacher in Motion</v>

14
00:00:25.119 --> 00:00:26.036
and it is a

15
00:00:27.752 --> 00:00:31.368
series of student and teacher interviews

16
00:00:31.368 --> 00:00:34.376
as well as stakeholder family interviews

17
00:00:34.376 --> 00:00:36.449
that are used to gather information

18
00:00:36.449 --> 00:00:38.339
about what people believe is the purpose

19
00:00:38.339 --> 00:00:40.754
of school in the twenty-first century.

20
00:00:40.754 --> 00:00:44.106
And the results from these interviews

21
00:00:44.106 --> 00:00:45.941
will be used to better inform

22
00:00:45.941 --> 00:00:48.284
recruitment and retention strategies

23
00:00:48.284 --> 00:00:50.069
at graduate schools of education

24
00:00:50.069 --> 00:00:51.479
as well as teacher alternative

25
00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:52.556
teacher certification programs

26
00:00:52.556 --> 00:00:53.556
to hopefully

27
00:00:56.151 --> 00:00:57.935
reduce these really high

28
00:00:57.935 --> 00:00:59.951
attrition rates among new teachers.
