Generation Y teachers--those under 30 years of age--have higher expectations for technology than their colleagues from earlier generations--for good reason. Improved instructional and networking technology is one important aspect of a modern high-performing workplace. This generational difference is important, since a majority of seasoned classroom teachers will retire in the next decade. Newer teachers believe technology can be used to enhance not only teachers' ability to implement engaging and effective lessons, it can also enhance school leaders' ability to provide meaningful data-based feedback; support collaboration (through conferencing technology) and shared practice (through video); and enhance teacher evaluation through improved analysis and communication tools. The National Education Association (NEA) has also invested in significant research to pinpoint strategies for retaining the most talented classroom practitioners. Great teachers need supportive workplaces and feedback to make them better teachers and to honor their influence and contributions to the students they serve. Increased turnover of young teachers is especially disturbing since they, like their students, are the future. Building a better workplace, with robust technology support and strong reciprocal relationships among professionals and students, is key to having the public schools people want and need. It's too important to settle for anything less.
