State Teaching Job Initiatives
The Colorado State Board of Education is in a current state of crisis with teacher shortages. Because of this problem, there has been a very high turnover rate. Colorado has been attempting to hire more qualified teachers to lower the turnover rate. Some districts in Colorado are even testing new certification requirements and programs to see if this will help with the shortage crisis. However, like most states, Colorado does not maintain a website specifically for listing teaching jobs.
Salary & Incentives
Colorado ranked 28th in the nation for teaching pay in 2007, with an overall average salary of $45,832. This number has increased recently, as the average base salary for Colorado teachers for 2009 was $59,820, with an annual salary range of $52,908 -$76,344. Salaries vary widely by district, with averages ranging from $30,000 to over $50,000. Salaries for Colorado teaching jobs increase according to years of teaching experience, and college degree level.
Professional Development
Colorado’s Professional Development program aims to improve teaching and administration, and indirectly the students. Every five years, a teacher is required to complete 90 hours of professional development activities. To learn more about Colorado’s professional development program, check out Colorado’s Professional Development Page.
Benefits & Retirement
To be vested in the state retirement system, a teacher must have at least 5 years of service. The average age of retirement for teachers in Colorado is 60, with about 20 years of service. Colorado maintains the Public Employee Retirement Association to assist public employees such as teachers in funding for their retirement. Additionally, there are many benefits offered to Colorado teachers such as health care plans, dental care, and annual leave and sick days.
