We are in the midst of a turning point where technologies are changing from objects of fascination into an undercurrent of life, seamlessly orchestrated and integrated to amplify human potential. Not only can we fit an entire computer in our phone, but we can connect with others and ideas through platforms that make learning accessible anytime, anywhere and by anyone. Platform technologies have been leveraged in the commercial industry to totally shift how we order rides, rent rooms, purchase products, and engage entertainment. However, we need to apply these same innovations to support teacher recruitment and professional development. Toward this end, we have been building a game-infused teacher recruitment experience designed to attract teachers to the profession along with a connected growth platform focused on supporting interested participants in coming to see themselves as potential teachers. Additionally, leveraging the same connected platform infrastructure, we are also supporting new teachers in having first-year success, as part of a connected community of teachers.
