Job Growth and Technology

Middle school teachers are super human. Few human beings are willing to dive head first into the middle of human development, sparing no cost, monetary or otherwise, to escort students to greatness, or at least a passing grade and a fulfilling social life. These committed adults construct the school, working not only as teachers, but as guidance counselors, coaches, and all knowing mentors.

In the next ten years, many of these super human beings will retire, trading in their capes and textbooks for swimsuits and sun. A new era of teachers and a new era of technology beckons for tomorrow's middle school students. Considering the potential turnover in teachers, proper training in utilizing technology in the classroom is more important than ever for both current and future teachers. 

The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts positive growth in jobs for middle school teachers. Will this job growth merge with effective teaching? We need a few more super humans. I hope we can find our capes.
